520 The Mob was the biggest, richest business in America--too
dangerous and too deadly to fail. Until it was destroyed
from within by drugs, greed, and the decline of its
traditional Crime Family values. And by guys like Sal
Polisi. Born in Brooklyn, Polisi was raised on a family
legacy as a member of the Colombos, one of the New York
Mob's feared Five Families, and came of age when the Mafia
was at the height of its vast wealth and power. He ran an
after-hours gambling den, The Sinatra Club, a hangout for
up-and-coming mobsters like the three wiseguys
immortalized in Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas. For Polisi,
the thrills of robbing banks, hijacking trucks, pulling
daring heists--and getting away with it all, thanks to
corrupt cops--were fleeting. When he was busted for drug
trafficking, and already sickened by the bloodbath that
engulfed the Mob as it teetered toward extinction, he
flipped and became one of a breed he had loathed all his
life--a rat. Here, Polisi paints a never-before-seen
picture of the inner workings of a once extensive and
secret underworld that, thanks to guys like him, no longer
exists.--From publisher description.
