Synopsis

Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside John Gotti's inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other Mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gotti's Boys . . .

● Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed of bodies for the mob—by dissolving them in acid then displaying their jewels.

● Gene Gotti: the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling ring—enraging his bosses in the Gambino family.

● Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero: the loose-lipped contract killer who was wire-tapped by the FBI—and dared to insult Gotti behind his back.

● Tony "Roach" Rampino: the hardcore stoner who looked like a cockroach—and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his enemies.

● "Sammy the Bull" Gravano: the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellano—then sang like a canary to take Gotti down.

Contains mature themes.

Really good book that shows the evolution of organized crime and how the elegance of what we’ve seen in its earlier years began to decline as the years went on and as law enforcement officials improved in their tools for investigation.......more

Goodreads review by Simon on August 27, 2019

Gotti's boys was not exactly the way the cover portrays it to read. The title of the book should be called Gotti's boy - Angelo Ruggiero. If you have read any other American Mafia crime books it is simply a repeat of the general information found on the Gambino crime family. I thought the book start......more

Goodreads review by Angel on August 20, 2019

They called him the “Teflon Don.” But in his short reign as the head of the Gambino crime family, John Gotti wracked up a lifetime of charges from gambling, extortion, and tax evasion to racketeering, conspiracy, and five convictions of murder. He didn’t do it alone. Surrounding himself with a rogue......more
