This book is about Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno. Bonanno was born in Sicily, came to the United States illegally, and made a fortune with whiskey during Prohibition. He became a Don in the Organized Crime syndicate at the age of twenty six. He was involved in a lot of bloody dealings, and gave a lot of details about how the Five Families did business. I thought this book was very interesting, and I enjoyed it tremendously.
