Excellent!

What John Binder did with the Chicago mob The Chicago Outfit, Scott Burnstein has done with this is an excellent pictorial history of the Detriot underworld. An must for anyone interested in Organized Crime.

Fascinating Detroit Mob History

This is a very vivid and fascinating history of the Detroit Mob from way back when through the recent years. This has been one of the strongest of the Cosa Nostra crime families and a full history is certainly valuable to the reader of organized crime books as well as (I suspect) the average Detroiter interested in his city's history.

Motor City Photo Fun

An interesting topic for Images of America but nonetheless a fun book. A few of the images have been used in previous titles but this collection of photos is far and away superior to anything previously released on Detroit. The high point of the book is definately the photo collection but the labeling of some of the figures contained within leaves something to be desired. An example of this occurs on page 17 where a photo consisting of a collection of Bommaritos identifies one man as Sammy Millman brother of Purple gang enforcer Harry Millman when the man is clearly Dominic Licavoli the youngest of the notorious Licavoli brothers. Not alot of historical information contained within but this is an image book not a biography. Overall a worthy addition to the crime collection and a first of its type to be sure.
