I agree, Crime Inc is the best documentary on LCN, but I like too Inside the American Mob and Allied to the Mafia.

He made up everything, but without ratting on anyone he did things with or didn't do things with. He had to consider it a bit of a joke, but mostly a way to make money off people wanting to buy anything mob related. He was a real tough guy and I think respected it prison. Frank Sheerhan did the same with his book

Agreed, nothing has come close to crime inc and nothing will.

Sullivan seems like "Ice-Man Lite" to me
Yeah it seems that he is like a mix of Kuklinski and Hill...

Every single guy in the time period was Luciano's number 1 guy and together they created the 'modern mob' or 'national crime.
Yes they exaggerate a little on that, but almost all the docs on the mafia do it. The thing that annoys me about these docs are the theories on the assassination of JFK and the so-called implication of Marcello, Trafficante, etc ... Despite this I find the series rather well made to compare others (The mafia's Greatest Hits & The Making Of the mob are awful in my opinion). Personally my favorite doc series is Crime Inc .. On the other hand, part 7 is so gory that I have never been able to finish it. It is easily findable on youtube

Last night I was watching Mobsters the television show and even though I enjoy it, was wondering. Apparently people like these kinds of shows or they wouldn’t be on all the time but all of them are about the same people and the same time periods. Can’t they make some new shows about some more modern organized crime figures. I know more about Gotti and The Chin than they ever knew about themselves.
