    About this series

    ★★★  Is true better than fiction?  ★★★

     

    The subject of a classic history by Herbert Asbury and an Academy Award-nominated film by Martin Scorsese, the gangs of The Five Points in New York have become the stuff of legend. But how much is legend and how much is fact?

     

    In this short book, we examine the original gangs of the Five Points in New York and see how accurate the film was (spoiler alert: not very) and what Asbury may have gotten wrong in his original research on this era.

     

    From the Bowery Boys to the Dead Rabbits, we look at the gangs that operated not just in the Five Points, but also those who wanted a piece of the action there and engaged in gang wars that would leave even modern thugs quivering in their boots!

      ★★★  Behind every smart man is a smarter woman  ★★★   Rocco Perri was the Al Capone of Canada. Without him, the American market of alcohol would be a little...dry.   Rocco is frequently cited as the most successful bootlegger of Canada, however, for one important reason: his wife, Bessie Perri. If Rocco was the King of Bootlegging, Bessie was the obvious queen.   With page-turning suspense, this gritty book looks at the brains behind Canadian bootlegging and how her cutthroat ways forever changed the landscape of both prohibitions.

      ★★★ A Valentine's Day not soon forgot ★★★   The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre is one of the most notorious murders of all time.   In the crime-ridden Chicago of the Prohibition era, gangsters like Al Capone battled for power, but few went to the extreme lengths that Capone did on that fateful day in 1929.   This short book gives you an exciting look at one of the most notorious criminals of all time, and the massacre he masterminded to finally gain control of the bootleg liquor trade.   Pray he has chocolates in that box and not a Tommy gun! This is one Valentine's Day you will never forget.
