Perhaps if I had seen the words "Images of America" above the title, I would have realized that this is largely a picture book. While the photos are interesting, if you are looking for something informative, this is not the book for you. ( ) Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series is a great way to get a quick sense of an aspect of history through photographs and limited text and captions. I was fortunate to hear Scott Burnstein speak about the history of the underworld in Detroit at my local library. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about this subject. This book combines the many black and white pictures with his knowledge to deliver an interesting overview. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Learn the story behind one of Detroit's most infamous mobs with rare photographs documenting their rise and fall. Motor City Mafia: A Century of Organized Crime in Detroit chronicles the storied and hallowed gangland history of the notorious Detroit underworld. Scott M. Burnstein takes the reader inside the belly of the beast, tracking the bloodshed, exploits, and leadership of the southeast Michigan crime syndicate as never before seen in print. Through a stunning array of rare archival photographs and images, Motor City Mafia captures Detroit's most infamous past, from its inception in the early part of the 20th century, through the years when the iconic Purple Gang ruled the city's streets during Prohibition, through the 1930s and the formation of the local Italian mafia, and the Detroit crime family's glory days in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, all the way to the downfall of the area's mob reign in the 1980s and 1990s. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
