This is a fantastic book. I read a lot of mob stuff, and this puts together a lot of pieces and provides a lot stronger arguments for the reasons some things happened the way they did, when they did, etc. Al D'Arco is very impressive in relaying the level of detail here. This and Blood Brotherhoods are easily 2 of the best mob books published in the last 30 years. My hats off to Capeci and Robbins.
The two reporters basically echo the exact same sentiments most who have interviewed other mobsters express about top level mob men. They are all very charismatic, articulate, have excellent memories, the best story tellers and overall just likeable individuals despite often haven killed several people, intimidated businesses and run illegal scams.
Psychopaths are actually very charming people when they want to be, the only issue is when they come to harm you, they can be very charming about that too...
Gaspipe made him acting boss bc he thought he'd be a puppet. Al started to show some actual leadership qualities and casso panicked. I keep saying gaspipe bc amuso was a nothing, gas owned him. End of the day, D'Arco wins, gaspipe and amuso get life in a dogcage and Al lived life for 27 years more.
Gas pipe was a dirty piece of shit! Some of these monsters, although fucking murderers, some seem reasonable. Like they could be ok guys but gas pipe is a low down disgusting evil MF’r.
I cant believe this guy has his own talk show. Most show hosts are rude and cut people off before they finish talking. This guy cuts off 2 very prominent authors 3 words after they start talking! He should have interviewed himself. What a distraction this guy was!
YEah....its...I dont even know what to think of that....its like all hosts have and over inflated sense of themselves. WHen in reality NO ONE CARE they are even breathing...we are here to hear Capeci!
Watch him interviewing Selwyn Raab, obviously another authority on organised crime, the interviewer is exactly the same with him, totally ruined it, it would've been a great interview in the hands of someone more in control of their ego.
@@AnthonyD28 low self image. Imo they are desperate to ingratiate themselves to the subject of the interview. To look important and sound knowledgeable. It is very depressing.
My understanding is that if you hit a made guy and you are not one , you are automatically killed. But I read that when Anthony Gaspipe Casso was not a made man , he had an altercation with a made man when he was not one. But somehow he was given a pass. Is this true?
NOVEMBER 20, 2013...Funny how the interviewer compares Gotti to Donald Trump. STRIKING COMPARISON. Hopefully Trump will find himself on his deathbed while in Prison
Mob cops. The author is Greg B . Smith ......not mob cop authored by moron Eppolitto. Is a GREAT AUDIOBOOK. Burt Kaplan , Gaspipe , Vic Amuso some unreal shit these guys got away with . I highly suggest it . Won't be disappointed. Excellent narration - Excellent stories .
I’m listening to the Audiobook. It’s brilliant. Mob Boss has to be the definitive guide and modern history of the New York mafia. Truly fascinating.
Vantheman12 3 who is the narrator for the audio book?

this is excellent read
In my opinion the best biography. The best info book is Five Families by Raab
Great book

I would love to hear another interview with Jerry Capeci

My late husband's ( 34 years) uncle is Vittorio Amuso.

He's a turd.
Great book as always Tom how do I get you article on bobby(Clyde)brooks
I am reading the book right now.
I read the book.. Good stuff.
Al recently pass I believe
Why can't interviewers ask questions and then shut up?
The interviewer is a buffoon !!
@@AnthonyD28 low self image. Imo they are desperate to ingratiate themselves to the subject of the interview. To look important and sound knowledgeable. It is very depressing.
Capeci looks like don cicio from Godfather 2
Who is this young man from Nueva York? Don Cici give me your blessing. ..
I'd like to see the mob put a hit on this host
this is u.s.a not Sicily
I'd like to have five minutes alone with a weak cowardly punk like you.
somebody give the next subject on this show a gun and beg them to use it on the host
@@tristangrigsby8377 wont have to beg them with this fn host hes like special ed lol
FUNNY
100% negative comments, is it possible that jealousy is the cause? 😉
Extraordinary life

If you raise your hand too a made man you are dead.gaspipe killed an associate and since he had connects he got a pass plus he didnt know
Al D'Arco was the quintessential real Mob Boss.
Al, are you for real, this Acting short term boss who flipped on arrest... Are you sure?
Damn I'm buying this book!!!
@Mr TATTAGLIA the pusher man where i can't fined it
You won't be disappointed. The audio book is great too
Any one else excited to think that Tom Robbins (still life with wood pecker author) had co wrote a mob boss book? This is not my cup of tea.
I forgot to tell you why they like him because they made money off him
Amici! AL D`Arco
Who names their Italian son Doug
Casso should have been put down early
Great interview doug
Gotta be a hard luck guy in the beginning
If it weren't for rats none of these reporters would be making any $
You don't recall the 1970s before every 2nd mobster ratted because they wrote in those days too?
Capeci is a made man not many know this...
The host is torture
Why rat?just take your family and money and run wtf
The Donald Trump of crime lmao awesome!!...its all the funnier bc this was made 2012- 13 ish before he was president
NOVEMBER 20, 2013...Funny how the interviewer compares Gotti to Donald Trump. STRIKING COMPARISON.
Hopefully Trump will find himself on his deathbed while in Prison
ths guy is a smuck !!!!
S-c-h-m-uc-k genius.
James R I was about to say the same lol
