Carlo Gambino
 King of the Godfathers $14.95 If you are like me, you thought the mafia would die out when John Gotti went to jail. That is clearly not the case, as this book perfectly illustrates. Fantastic, entertaining book about one of the bosses of one of the powerful Five Families in New York. The man only recently went to prison in 2003. Book (the softbound edition) covers his entire life of crime all the way through his trial in 2004 along with developments through early 2008. It is an entertaining, educational, informative read, covering not only the boss, but the Bonnano family and NY mafia families in general. If you want to learn what the modern day mob is like and have a good time while doing so, then buy this book.

Gambino was investigated by the FBI for various criminal violations. In 1970, Gambino, said to be the "Boss of Bosses" was described as the most powerful racketeer in the country. Portions have been blacked out to protect confidential sources. Reputed to be the head of the Five Families of New York from 1957 to 1976, Gambino was born in Sicily in 1902, and immigrated to the United States in 1921. When Albert Anastasia was killed in 1957, allegedly by Gambino with approval of Vito Genovese, Gambino became head of the Family. The government made serious attempts beginning about 1970 to bring Gambino to trial on hijacking charges and deport him for entering the country illegally in 1921. However, his severe heart trouble, which plagued him for years, prevented trial. Files include detailed reporting of electrocardiograms given to Gambino. Gambino died of heart failure in 1976.
