D'arco's book is good but he only list a small number of Brooklyn lucchese soldiers

I read the line that called Bobby Boriello a Lucchese soldier and almost pissed myself laughing. What a jerkoff. Couldn’t he afford a fucking decent fact checker?
I agree Nepa, the D’Arco book I felt was a very honest and accurate depiction of mob life for the era discussed

It was the only reason I listened to the audiobook. I always wondered how the Luccheses ended up in Brooklyn with all of their Uptown roots.

I thought D’Arco’s book was a very good read, and very accurate

Al D'Arco's book goes into the history of the Brooklyn Luccheses. How Vario and people like that got their positions. Pretty interesting.

Another thing I always had a problem with is the question did Christie tick, after Don Turridu stepped down, at one point got to be in the crew of Paul Vario, or did that big brooklyn crew split right after Don Turridu stepped down and they both (Christie tick and Vario) got their own crews right away.

Thanks again.
