This book was featured on The Last Podcast On The Left reading list (Episodes 326-328). This book is an in depth look at Richard Kuklinski, also known as The Ice Man, who was a contact hit man for the Italian Organized Crime syndicate in New York. There are stories in this book that seem completely unbelievable, but there are so many stories in the news and on documentaries that I watch that seem insane and they actually happened too. Maybe he is making up some of these things, maybe he is not. He was certainly a violent person, and certainly responsible for plenty of murders and other violent acts. I think it is interesting to learn what makes people like this tick, what motivates them to do these things. It is astonishing how well they are able to hide it from their families, and also how families sometimes turn a blind eye to what goes on to keep themselves safe and as far removed from criminal activities as possible. This wasn't my favorite mob book, crime book, or biography, but it was interesting for sure.
