Description

Everyone knows stories in regards to the American Mafia and its varied varieties of crime, from racketeering to stock manipulation to murder.  American Mafia: Chicago explores the Windy City, strolling through its neighborhoods and imagining scenes from the past—telling the stories of the lads, women, and families and revealing the events at the back of the legends and the history of the families’ beginnings and founding members. 
Featuring probably the most fascinating stories from the early days, when loosely-organized, incredibly secretive gangs terrorized neighborhoods with names like Little Hell, during the mob’s headiest years, when Al Capone and his men pretty well controlled town, American Mafia: Chicago offers tantalizing glimpses into the era when Chicago was once ruled by gangs with their ever-twisting allegiances and tangled webs of relationships.
Most of the buildings are gone now.

But the stories are still there, if where to appear.
