Solid hardcover. ; "This book shows that the Mafia, and the larger crime syndicate that it dominates, has control over much of what the public regards as legitimate business. And when the Dons dominate the marketplace, they bring murder, arson, and violence with them. Through tape recordins of the conversations of businessmen and underworld figures, through police reports, public records, trial transcripts, and personal interviews, this book reconstructs Mob takeovers of the meat industry, the lunch-wagon businss, cheese-processing plants, garment factories, banks, stockbrokerages, and teamsters', butchers', and longshoremen's unions."
