Reviews

"An exhaustively researched, yet highly readable history of exactly how the Italian Mafia became the dominant organized crime group in New York City for most of the twentieth century. Using newly uncovered documents and primary sources, Hortis cuts through many of the myths that surround the Mafia and offers new angles and insight on a subject that continues to fascinate researchers and readers. The Mob and The City is a worthy addition to the Mafia true-crime canon." --Scott M. Deitche, author of The Silent Don: The Criminal Underworld of Santo Trafficante Jr. "Hortis demolishes what we thought we knew about the Mob...and builds a new history upon a solid foundation of exclusive documentary evidence and superb insight.... Essential reading for all who seek to truly understand the phenomenon of organized crime in America's most populous city." --Thomas Hunt, editor of Informer: The History of American Crime and Law Enforcement "Much has been made of the Cosa Nostra being a national crime organization. And while that was certainly true, New York was always its headquarters--the only city with more than one resident family (there are five) and, because of that, the birthplace of the Commission. The Mob and the City provides both an overview and an analysis of how that came to be, and it offers an interesting alternative to the generally accepted version of Cosa Nostra mob boss Joe Bonanno's origins. Lucid and thoughtful, it is well worth reading." --Ronald Goldstock, commissioner of the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor and former director of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force, "In his rich, well-researched first book, Hortis details the rise of the Mafia while debunking numerous myths. . . . If there's a better book on the early history of Cosa Nostra in America, I haven't seen it." --Jerry Capeci, Gang Land News , coauthor of Mob Boss "An exhaustively researched, yet highly readable history of exactly how the Italian Mafia became the dominant organized crime group in New York City for most of the twentieth century.
