I read a lot and found this book in a second hand shop and bought it on a whim for 1 dollar. Could not put it down I recommend it to everyone. Better than Puzo's Godfather.

Ride A Tiger

Ride A tiger is the most riveting novel of the MOB since The Godfather. It's not only just another book about the MOB, it is a shattering isight into the personality of a major vrime. Leo Gorodetsky stsrted of with his illegal card game and ended up becoming American most wanted crime leader. With the success of his business, him and his inmate friend Harry Wiserman, along with some of the biggest names of the Italian families combined and created their own organization with their own sets of rules. With the obsession in the business, Leo nearly destroyed his own family. This novel is filled with unique characteristic and clawed with betrayal,trust,love, and hate. This novel is a must read!

The story cleverly parallels the history of the US through the 30's to 60's and leads the reader to speculate on how much could actually have been influenced by such people and their organizations.
