Best books on 90s mob activity

[Ivan]

Massino 91 to 01 might be the modern days greatest runs as boss but that could be bullsit because there's 2 bosses sitting today that both had 10yr runs in the Gambino and genovese family who probably always topped the bonannos even at massinos peak

FWIW Merino is closing in on 30 years if you don't count Natale as "boss" (and I don't).

I've only read 3 but my favorite was the joe dogs ianuzzi book

Bet there's some really good Tommy Agro stories in that book...Agro came up under Joe Piney didn't he?

Yes according to the book Tommy "TA" Agro ran the southeast Florida crew for Joe Piney/Gambinos.

TAs underlings that he had around him alot doing the beatings and assaults is Paul Principe and Frank Russo.

His last name was actually listed as Ambrosio not Agro but for he always went by Agro, forgot to mention that.

And looking over the book again, Piney got his nickname because he shook down sidewalk Christmas tree sellers on the Eastside in the 30s.
