    Last Don Standing: The Secret Life of Mob Boss Ralph Natale , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
    As the last don of the Philadelphia mob, Ralph Natale, the first-ever mob boss to turn state's evidence, provides an insider's perspective on the Mafia. Natale's reign atop the Philadelphia and New Jersey underworlds brought the region's Mafia back to prominence in the 1990s. Smart, savvy, and articulate, Natale came up in the mob and saw firsthand as it hatched its plan to control Atlantic City's casino unions. Later on, after spending 16 years in prison, he reclaimed the family as his own after a bloody mob war that left bodies scattered across South Philly. He forged connections around the country and achieved a status within the mob never seen before or since, until he was betrayed by his men and decided to testify against them in a stunning turn of events. Using dozens of hours of interviews with Natale along with research and interviews with FBI agents, this book delivers revelatory insights into seminal events in American mob history, including: The truth about Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance The murder of Jewish mob icon Bugsy Siegel The identity of the man who created modern-day Las Vegas With the full cooperation of Natale, New York Daily News reporter Larry McShane and producer Dan Pearson uncover the deadly reign of the last great mob boss of Philadelphia, a tale that covers a half century of mob lore - and gore. ungekürzt.

    Vegas and the Mob , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
    Las Vegas was the Mob's greatest venture and most spectacular success, and through 40 years of frenzy, murder, deceit, scams, and skimming, the FBI listened on phone taps and did virtually nothing to stop the fun. This is the truth about the Mob's control of the casinos in Vegas like you've never heard it before, from start to finish. Two of the nation's most powerful crime family bosses went to prison in the 1930s: Al Capone, and Lucky Luciano. Frank Nitti took over the Chicago Outfit, while Frank Costello ran things for the Luciano Family. Both men were influenced by their bosses from prison, and both sent enough gangsters into the streets to influence loan sharking, extortion, union control, and drug sales. Bugsy Siegel worked for both groups, handling a string of murders and opening up gaming on the west coast, and that included Las Vegas, an oasis of sin in the middle of the desert - and it was legal. Most of it. The FBI watched as the Mob took control of casino after casino, killed off the competition, and stole enough money to bribe their way to respectability back home. By the 1950s, nearly every major crime family had a stake in a Las Vegas casino. Some did better than others. Casino owners watched-over their profits while competing crime families eyed each other's success like jealous lovers. Murder often followed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Sullivan.

    Organized Crime Queens: The Secret World of Female Gangsters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 120min
    From the bizarre world of female Japanese motorcycle gangs to the historic rise and fall of London's 40 Elephants, the history of female organized crime is both fascinating and strange. These are the stories, both true and legendary, of the female crime bosses that broke the mold of feminine gentility. This is the secret world of female gangsters. Most of society thinks of women as the gentler sex, the sex with more compassion and empathy, not prone to violence. The truth is history, and current events, are littered with stories of violent women who do whatever it takes to get what they want; women who either revel in, or accept as needed, whatever acts of torture, murder, and depravity that are required to achieve their goals. We're not talking about mundane psychopaths that kill their children and their husbands; or homicidal maniacs that kill randomly without purpose, other than for some sexual or psychological gratification. We're talking about female organized crime bosses, leaders of highly structured, often successful criminal organizations. Most everyone knows about the high profile male mobsters; people like Lucky Luciano, Myer Lansky, Bugsy Segal, Arnold Rothstein, and Al Capone: men who became legends, rightly or wrongly, due to the public's insatiable appetite for literature, movies, and television stories based on their lives. But what about their female counterparts, they definitely existed and still exist. Their stories are both fascinating and cautionary. Their histories provide an alternative perspective on the equality of the sexes; everything has a price. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gene Tognacci.

    The Deadly Don: Vito Genovese, Mafia Boss
    Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and author Anthony M. DeStefano presents the definitive book on Vito Genovese, the namesake of a crime family which is still considered one of the most viable and dangerous in the U.S. today. From enforcer to Godfather, Vito Genovese rose through the ranks of La Cosa Nostra to head of one of the wealthiest and most dangerous crime families in American history. THE BOSS OF BOSSES The first comprehensive biography of the legendary Mafioso Vito Genovese -from his childhood in Naples, Italy, and the beginnings of his bullet-ridden criminal career on lower Manhattan's mean streets, through his self-exile in the mid-1930s back to his homeland where he ran a black market operation under the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, and his return to New York where Genovese made a fortune as the head of an illegal narcotics empire. As a member of Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria's gang in New York City, Genovese ran rackets before joining forces with Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel as bootleggers during Prohibition. He helped orchestrate Masseria's slaughter on behalf of Brooklyn crime lord Salvatore Maranzano, consolidating his position and power before ensuring Maranzano, too, was knocked off. For the next three decades, Vito Genovese-shrewd, merciless, and utterly savage-killed countless gangsters in his bid to become the capo di tutti i capi-boss of bosses-in the American Mafia. Don Vito would betray some of the mafia's most notorious bosses, including Albert Anastasia and Frank Costello, to eventually seize control of the Luciano crime family, one that still bears the Genovese name today.

    Brooklyn Italian: Remembering Williamsburg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
    Brooklyn Italian: Remembering Williamsburg will take you on a journey back in time. To a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn, New York, called Williamsburg. From the beginning of its existence in 1638 to present day, through the rise of industry, two world wars, the Depression of the late 1920s, the rise of the mafia and the immigrants who settled there in search for a better life. In their own words, long-time residents tell their stories of a time when on summer evenings, family and friends gathered on stoops to talk about the happenings of the day or just to share a cup of coffee, when children played stick ball, jacks, and hopscotch till the street lamps came on.... When a handshake meant trust and respect was earned. They came for a better life for themselves and their children. Many enclaves with cultural differences, yet sharing one vision: to pursue the American dream. The freedom to choose, to become, to survive. While notables such as Corning Ware, Standard Oil, and Domino Sugar found Williamsburg to be a profitable place to call home, other notables were making their mark in Williamsburg as well such as the Bonanno family underboss Carmine Galante and the infamous Bugsy Siegel and Alfonse Capone. In their own words, long-time residents of Williamsburg Brooklyn share their life history in letters telling the world what it was like living during the Great Depression, WWII, poverty, and survival. As with each generation change is inevitable and it’s change that allows us to pass on the stories of the generations before, preserving the past to become an integrated part of our future. ungekürzt.

    After Dunkirk: D-Day and How We Planned the Second Front , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
    In this minor war classic, first published by Victor Gollancz in 1945, Major John Dalgleish R.A.S.C., Daily Express journalist and BBC commentator, provides a short account of the planning for D-Day. A complete history of the so called Second Front would run to a million words and still be incomplete. The present volume is intended to be a bird's-eye view of what happened behind the veil of secrecy, which shrouded the two years of planning, after the disaster of Dunkirk, and before the success of D-Day. Major John Dalgleish R.A.S.C. was directly involved in the complex planning of the Second Front, the pre-planning for D-Day, and the Allied Invasion of France. He led a colorful life as a journalist for the Daily Express and as a BBC commentator. Later, he married a famous film star of his day, Wendy Barrie, who before she fell from the public eye, (due to an ill-considered relationship with the gangster Bugsy Siegel), starred in many Hollywood movies with the likes of Charles Laughton, James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Edward G Robinson, and many others. After the war, John Dalgleish continued his sometimes, mildly nefarious lifestyle, by restyling himself as a businessman. He worked in the diamond mines of South Africa and introduced the first sapphire gramophone needles into Britain. He had mixed results in business and is described by Tim Dalgleish, the editor of After Dunkirk, as, "A cross between Oscar Schindler and Richard Branson." He also published, I Was an Eighth Army Soldier, an account of the Allied Campaign in North Africa, and was editor of the war time newspaper, Tiger News. A new edition of the former, and an audiobook about the latter, are to be published shortly. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Dalgleish.
