Most comprehensive book available

I am an organized crime buff and have read virtually every book on the subject that i can find. This book is one stop shopping! It provides a comprehensive history of all organized crime groups currently operating in the United States. I would recommend this book for anyone with an interest in the subject.

Great for class

My Organized Crimes class in college used this book and I found it very helpful. It is not the kind of book you just sit down and read for fun, but one that you can gain a vast amount of knowledge from. It is very detailed and well researched. I was also lucky enough to have Dr. Britz teaching my class. The combination of her lectures and the information in the textbook was outstanding.
