A book that looks at the hits and death of the men with ties or in the case of New York Lt. Detective Joseph Petrosino who fought tooth and nail with the “Black Hand” as they were called at the turn of the century after many arrests and wanting to send men back to Sicily that were criminals there. That is where he was gunned downed while looking through records. Leaving behind a wife and little daughter his story which like many in this book is short is one that is fascinating. While other stories in here are ones that I have heard and read about it is his story and the one where in New Orleans 11 Italian Americans were lynched in one day. Both of these stories needed to be seen by other people and not just the other killings. I am glad they were added and I hope people will look into these two stories to see the history behind them. Overall a good book.
