If your a Detroit mafia, Partnership, Zerilli-Tocco crime family, what-ever you wanna call it fan or historian you wanna purchase this book. The most powerful of the American Cosa Nostra crime families such as the Five Families of New York and that of the Chicago Outfit have been the main subject and centerpiece of American mafia history from the beginning of the organization's recorded history, but this book takes you away from those groups. Most of the American mafia related books written over the decades have been about N.Y. and Chicago, that's a fact. The New York & Chicago mafia's influence was cemented nationwide. This was done mainly through each crime family's influence over gambling, union and labor rackets and through local law enforcement and political contacts throughout their chosen base of operations, their cities. New York and Chicago had the added influence of controlling the majority of the American mafia's nationwide gambling and union rackets. New York held the most influence over nationwide narcotics operations and they held majority influence over the American mafia's Commission. But, what excapes most mob watchers and mafia buffs is that while New York ruled over the east coast and Chicago the mid-west, both carrying influence on the west coast and both being allied with the more independent southern crime families (N.O.-Marcello, Tampa-Trafficante), there were other very powerful, well connected and wealthy crime familes outside New York and Chicago.The Buffalo crime family was one of the 7 charter crime families placed on the Commission in 1931 and for good reason.
