tharunsikhinam commented 5 years ago

In The First Family, historian, journalist, and New York Times bestselling author Mike Dash brings to life this little-known story, following the rise of the Mafia in America from the 1890s to the 1920s, from the lawless villages of Sicily to the streets of Little Italy. Using an impressive array of primary sources-hitherto untapped Secret Service archives, prison records, trial transcripts, and interviews with surviving family members-this is the first Mafia history that applies scholarly rigor to the story of the Morello syndicate and the birth of organized crime on these shores.\nProgressing from small-time scams to counterfeiting rings to even bigger criminal enterprises, Giuseppe Morello exerted ruthless control of Italian neighborhoods in New York, and through adroit coordination with other Sicilian crime families, his Clutch Hand soon reached far beyond the Hudson River.\nThe men who battled Morello\'s crews were themselves colorful and legendary figures, including William Flynn, a fearless Secret Service agent, and Lieutenant Detective Giuseppe "Joe" Petrosino of the New York Police Department\'s elite Italian Squad, whose pursuit of the brutal gangs ultimately cost him his life.\nCombining first-rate scholarship and pulse-quickening action, and set amid rustic Sicilian landscapes and the streets of old New York, The First Family is a groundbreaking account of the crucial period when the American criminal underworld exploded with violent fury across the nation.', 'isbn': '1400067227', 'link': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6376400-the-first-family', 'ratings_count': '822', 'similar_books': ['769760', '6353690', '6088116', '968971', '1158677', '97427', '1158907', '652063', '22239', '63405', '440277', '2089504', '1122424', '7301970', '579190', '9485202'], 'title_without_series': 'The First Family: Terror, Extortion, Revenge, Murder, and the Birth of the American Mafia', 'url': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6376400-the-first-family', 'image_url': 'https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1320537290m/6376400.jpg', 'title': 'The First Family: Terror, Extortion, Revenge, Murder, and the Birth of the American Mafia', 'name': 'Mike Dash'}, {'_id': ObjectId('5cf2ec34402099e6b0fe128c'), 'book_id': '785625', 'asin': '', 'average_rating': '4.06', 'description': 'It seemed like a good idea. Tired of everyday life ashore, Farley Mowat would find a sturdy boat in Newfoundland and roam the salt sea over, free as a bird. What he found was the worst boat in the world, and she nearly drove him mad. The Happy Adventure, despite all that Farley and his Newfoundland helpers could do, leaked like a sieve. Her engine only worked when she felt like it. Typically, on her maiden voyage, with the engine stuck in reverse, she backed out of the harbour under full sail. And she sank, regularly.\nHow Farley and a varied crew, including the intrepid lady who married him, coaxed the boat from Newfoundland to Lake Ontario is a marvellous story. The encounters with sharks, rum-runners, rum and a host of unforgettable characters on land and sea make this a very funny book for readers of all ages.', 'isbn': '055327788X', 'link': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/785625.The_Boat_Who_Wouldn_t_Float', 'ratings_count': '1409', 'similar_books': ['106163', '24678', '118144', '1332755', '149182', '844115', '1088608', '666984', '1977085', '222233', '2170953', '969324', '1163208', '641457', '319257', '190340'], 'title_without_series': "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float", 'url': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/785625.The_Boat_Who_Wouldn_t_Float', 'image_url': 'https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1403194025m/785625.jpg', 'title': "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float", 'name': 'Farley Mowat'}, {'_id': ObjectId('5cf2ec35402099e6b0fe47e5'), 'book_id': '2653762', 'asin': '', 'average_rating': '4.48', 'description': '', 'isbn': '2259191746', 'link': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2653762-les-rois-maudits', 'ratings_count': '1336', 'similar_books': ['1845191', '997654', '1520738', '78676', '325895', '1882872', '237758', '1342322', '3014291', '956320', '300041', '1359071', '28409', '329408'], 'title_without_series': 'Les Rois Maudits', 'url': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2653762-les-rois-maudits', 'image_url': 'https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327978980m/2653762.jpg', 'title': 'Les Rois Maudits', 'name': 'Maurice Druon'}, {'_id': ObjectId('5cf2ec44402099e6b001a566'), 'book_id': '3990814', 'asin': '', 'average_rating': '4.09', 'description': "John Healy's The Grass Arena describes with unflinching honesty his experiences of addiction, his escape through learning to play chess in prison, and his ongoing search for peace of mind. This Penguin Classics edition includes an afterword by Colin MacCabe.\nIn his searing autobiography Healy describes his fifteen years living rough in London without state aid, when begging carried an automatic three-year prison sentence and vagrant alcoholics prowled the parks and streets in search of drink or prey. When not united in their common aim of acquiring alcohol, winos sometimes murdered one another over prostitutes or a bottle, or the begging of money. Few modern writers have managed to match Healy's power to refine from the brutal destructive condition of the chronic alcoholic a story so compelling it is beyond comparison.\nJohn Healy (b. 1943) was born into an impoverished, Irish immigrant family, in the slums of Kentish Town, North London. Out of school by 14, pressed into the army and intermittently in prison, Healy became an alcoholic early on in life. Despite these obstacles Healy achieved remarkable, indeed phenomenal expertise in both writing and chess, as outlined in the autobiographical The Grass Arena.\nIf you enjoyed The Grass Arena, you might like Last Exit to Brooklyn, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.\n'Sober and precise, grotesque, violent, sad, charming and hilarious all at once'\nLiterary Review\n'Beside it, a book like Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and Londonseems a rather inaccurate tourist guide'\nColin MacCabe", 'isbn': '0141189592', 'link': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3990814-the-grass-arena', 'ratings_count': '350', 'similar_books': ['946459', '1020053', '1224264', '352815', '796398', '25253151', '415055', '15842918', '6216854', '1116201', '943365', '3278905', '897982', '1790509', '417909', '13674'], 'title_without_series': 'The Grass Arena: An Autobiography', 'url': 'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3990814-the-grass-arena', 'image_url': 'https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1338931087m/3990814.jpg', 'title': 'The Grass Arena: An Autobiography', 'name': 'John Healy'}]
