The Gotti Wars: taking Down America's Most Notorious Mobster
New York: Scribners, 2022. First edition. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 348 pp. with index. Illustrated with photos. John Gotti, one of the most feared and certainly the flashiest mafioso in American history, became boss of the Gambino Crime Family with the brazen and very public murder of Paul Castellano in front of Sparks Steak House in midtown Manhattan in 1985. Never one to stay below law enforcement's radar, Gotti favored eye-catching apparel and beat enough criminal charges to earn the nickname "The Teflon Don". Author John Gleeson, an assistant U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn, was watching carefully; his first racketeering case aginst Gottin ended in acquittal --and put him in the Dapper Don's crosshairs. Five years later, Gleeson was in charge of a second racketeering investigation and using secret recordings and the testimony of Sammy "The Bull" Gravano who Gleeson flipped, didn't end as well for Gotti. Fine / fine. Item #E27710
