As the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, the Pentagon burned, and a small group of passengers fought desperately to stop a third plane from completing its deadly flight plan, America went on war footing. Killing the Killers narrates America's intense global war against extremists who planned and executed not only the 9/11 attacks but hundreds of others in America and around the world, and who eventually destroyed entire nations in their relentless quest for power.

In this thrilling narrative, O’Reilly blends primary, never-before-released interview material with a history that recounts Trump’s childhood and family and the factors from his life and career that forged the worldview that the president of the United States has taken to the White House. Not a partisan pro-Trump or anti-Trump book, this is an up-to-the-minute, intimate view of the man and his sphere of influence.

Story
How did Davy Crockett save President Jackson's life only to end up dying at the Alamo? Was the Lone Ranger based on a real lawman-and was he an African American? What amazing detective work led to the capture of Black Bart, the "gentleman bandit" and one of the west's most famous stagecoach robbers? Did Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid really die in a hail of bullets in South America? Generations of Americans have grown up on TV shows, movies and books about these western icons. But what really happened in the Wild West? All the stories you think you know, and others that will astonish you, are here--some heroic, some brutal and bloody, all riveting. Included are the ten legends featured in Bill O'Reilly's Legends and Lies docuseries -from Kit Carson to Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok to Doc Holliday-- accompanied by two bonus chapters on Daniel Boone and Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley.

Attaining immense power and dominance, from the late 1940s until 1976 the semi-literate Angeleno became an above-the-fold newspaper name, accumulating a remarkable count of more than 1,000 front pages in Los Angeles papers alone, and hundreds of articles in national and international periodicals.

Story
Frank Sheeran, known as the Irishman, waited his entire life to tell his story, or at least his version of his story. The world knew him as a union official, a longtime member of the Teamsters Union; he was a member of Jimmy Hoffa's inner circle at the top of the national union. As an old man suffering from cancer, Frank Sheeran shared his story with his attorney. He told him of the things that were already known, but he shared much, much more. This book explores Sheeran's confessions as a lifelong criminal with ties to some of the biggest crimes of the 20th century.

His career in organized crime spanned over eight decades - and he was sentenced to fifty years in prison for robbery. This is the true story of an old-school Mafioso as it's never been told. Newsday reporter S. J. Peddie interviewed Franzese in prison and uncovered a lifetime of shocking secrets from the legend himself.

A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.

In February 1991, the media mogul and former MP Robert Maxwell made a triumphant entrance into Manhattan harbour aboard his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, to complete his purchase of the ailing New York Daily News. Crowds lined the quayside to watch his arrival, taxi drivers stopped their cabs to shake his hand and children asked for his autograph. But just 10 months later, Maxwell disappeared from the same yacht off the Canary Islands, only to be found dead in the water soon afterward.

Summary
In the 10th audiobook in the multimillion-selling Killing series, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard take on their most controversial subject yet: The Mob.
Killing the Mob is the 10th audiobook in Bill O'Reilly's number-one New York Times best-selling series of popular narrative histories, with sales of nearly 18 million copies worldwide, and over 320 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list.
O’Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of 20th-century organized crime in the United States, and expertly plumb the history of this nation’s most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, O’Reilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby-Face Nelson. In addition, the authors highlight the creation of the Mafia Commission, the power struggles within the “Five Families”, the growth of the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the mob battles to control Cuba, Las Vegas, and Hollywood, as well as the personal war between the US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.
O’Reilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a listen that rivals the most riveting crime novel. With Killing the Mob, their hit series is primed for its greatest success yet.

Enlightening
Robert Petkoff always adds to any story without the usual annoying American narrative, to English ears anyway. The mob story is very well researched and although not unknown to most readers is very well documented in this book and people such as Frank Sinatra who was always “suspected” but never actually admitted as being tied to the mob, even by his family, is put firmly in the frame.

Misleading Title.
Dillinger, Floyd, Nelson were not part of the "Mafia ". More of a history of mob. Didn't get into the Law taking down the mob until the last couple of chapters. Liked the story though. Found the tie in to Hollywood interesting. Just thought it would be about law enforcement aspects.
BTW...LOVED THE REST OF THE SERIES..

"Maiming the Mob" at best
I was definitely entertained by this detailed history of the mafia. Being from St. Paul, MN I was fairly annoyed that the authors placed John Dillinger's Lincoln Court Appartment shoot out with FBI agents in Minneapolis when in fact those apartments are located and that shoot out occurred in St. Paul not far from the intersection of Grand & Lexington. I also was disappointed that despite being heavy on famous prohibition and depression era gangsters (which I did enjoy and agree are relevant) the book is very light on the mafia activities of the late 70's to the present, barely summarizing the extraordinary work of Rudolf Giuliani and hardly mentioning the brutality of John Gotti. Paul Castellano was mentioned once. Although there is a lot of new information in this book, particularly regarding the Ali/Liston fights, to have "killed" a subject you really have to be detailed all the way through instead of glossing over more contemporary events. O'Reilly maimed his subject this time around, stopping short of killing.

“KILLING THE MOB” Is O’Reilly’s best yet
I have been a student of organized crime ever since I was a young kid and read about the Castalano hit at Spark’s steakhouse. O’Reilly and his research team nailed it. From the origins of the mafia in America, their dealings, teamsters, politicians, Hollywood, and the FBI. He tells an exciting story all without glorifying or condemning them.

Very Good but not as I was expecting
I really liked this book, but it was not what I was expecting. This is my first time listening to the killing series. I was disappointed that the book barely skimmed over the Era of the FBI's fight against the commission and the case against them. The book could have been 5-6 hours longer at least.
