Gotti's Rules: The Story of John Alite, Junior Gotti, and the Demise of the American Mafia
Dey Street Books, 2015. First edition. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. SIGNED BY ANASTASIA ON THE TITLE PAGE. Fine, freshj copy in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 328 pp. Illustrated with photographs. A fascinating take on the life and crimes of infamous mob boss JohnGotti. Gotti ran New York's powerful Gambino crime family, becoming the stuff of popular legend (the "Dapper Don") with his debonnaire ways and stylish wardrobe. This book provides for the first time the Gotti family's startling story for the first time. Prize-winning true crime writer George Anastasia's main source was John Alite, an Albania-American from Queens, an unlikely (that is, non-Italian) ally who by his street smarts was recruited to be Gotti's protector and muscle. Though he reaped the benefits of the underworld, he also discovered that the legendary American Mafia--an organization that claimed to be built on honor and loyalty--was nothing more than a facade for the hypocritical, manipulative, and greedy criminals like the Gottis who ran it. Fine / fine. Item #WE30461
