About this listen

Beginning in the 1920s, an all-star team of goons, gunmen, and garrotters transformed America's criminal landscape. Its membership was diverse; the mob recruited men from all ethnicities and religious backgrounds. Most were natives of the Big Apple, handpicked from the city's toughest neighborhoods: Brownsville, Ocean Hill, Flushing. So prolific were their exploits that the media soon dubbed this bevy of hired hands Murder, Incorporated. The brainchild of aging mob bosses, including Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel, this ruthless hit squad quickly captured America's attention, making headlines coast to coast for over two decades. As for who these men were and how their partnership came to be, join author Graham Bell as he sheds light on this dark history of the Mafia's most notorious crime syndicate.

I really enjoyed this audiobook.
It ruins it for me when the voice doesn't match the subject matter.
No problems here, though, as the narrator I believes hails from New York and as such he fits in perfectly.
Highly Recommended.

RIGHT VOICE FOR THIS TRUE STORY

the mention of Richard the first also known as lionheart and the disrespectful way he's portrayed makes me want to meet the author and teach him what war was like in the 12th century and explain in great boring detail that history existed before America

annoyed by lack of historical knowledge in first c

Given that criminals are deceitful and quite often self aggrandising why would anyone believe their stories. Given that politicians and law enforcement are corrupt at least in this book why should we believe them?
I can see no signs of original research that made tough jews interesting all of the asides adjectives applied are irksome . There are far better and more insightful books than this which is merely a rehash and not a particularly good one of many others

Trite banal repetitious repeat of everything you already know
