Gangland Cleveland Style: The Rise and Demise (The Cleveland Mafia) (Volume 3)

Product Description

Gangland Cleveland, Their Rise, and Demise are am exciting look through the vast history of the Cleveland Mob. They're hard-fought rise of power from the many men who wished to control the city. Their courageous battles and struggles with law enforcement and the enemies who continue to attack them from every angle, and manage a more significant share of the city’s underworld wealth. The much-feared Sicilian immigrants of the early twenties struggled to meet the day to day rival gangs, which would often bring about their death, just to earn a living on the tuff streets. These real stories will prove how Cleveland became the third highest-ranking and influential Mafia town in the country behind New York and Chicago. “Gangland Cleveland Style” showcases the ambitious drive, their rise in respect across America, and of course their incredible demise in the late 1970s. I focus on Lonardo’s, Porrello’s, Frank & Anthony Milano's “Mayfield Road Gang” to Al Polizzi, and of course John Scalish. The ongoing fight with Danny Greene and the aftermath of James Licavoli and the dramatic testimony of a Protected Federal Witness, “Underboss” Angelo Lonardo. The astonishing true stories of the Prohibition and the Circulation Wars, illegal Casinos along with the Policy, clearinghouse, and Drug rackets will fascinate you as you learn more about their protected inner circle of friends. People like Mickey McBride, Ray Ferritto, Alex Shondor Birns, the Angersola Brothers, John DeMarco, and of course their connection with the powerful Jewish Syndicate, including Moe Daltiz, Morris Klienman, and Tommy McGinty. I dive into their brilliant and impressive relationship with the various powerful Labor unions, and of course, the great Teamster Union were William, and Jackie Presser ruled over the flock of disciples. Read about the numerous stories of other union leaders who were a pivotal connection to the Mafia across the country and to Cleveland. Cleveland’s role in the famous Apalachin Summit with their colorful, yet complicated friendships and relationship with many of the high-level Mafia Bosses across the country and how Cleveland became a principal player in the Los Angeles Mafia. I have included over 50 pictures to enhance the real story.
