Publisher's summary

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside John Gotti's inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gotti's Boys....

  • Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed of bodies for the mob - by dissolving them in acid then displaying their jewels.
  • Gene Gotti: the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling ring - enraging his bosses in the Gambino family.
  • Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero: the loose-lipped contract killer who was wire-tapped by the FBI - and dared to insult Gotti behind his back.
  • Tony "Roach" Rampino: the hardcore stoner who looked like a cockroach - and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his enemies.
  • "Sammy the Bull" Gravano: the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellano - then sang like a canary to take Gotti down.

Contains mature themes.

Exceptional

Narration was excellent, the book was very intriguing, and it makes one wonder what really happened behind closed doors years ago.

Great look at the Gotti Crew

Instead of more of the same about Gotti, this one takes a look at those around him. You won't learn anything new if you're a fan of this topic, but you won't be bored either.

Good Read, nothing great!!!

While it was a good read, this was not anything new regarding the story itself. Did no fill in any gaps in what occurred in those days, Ive read much better. Gave it 3 stars because if I had'nt read anything regarding the mob this would have been interesting. If you've read any other mob books, then you've read this one as well.

Great Book

I was skeptical at first because there's already so many books about John Gotti I thought to myself what else could I possibly here that I haven't heard before. but this book doven to a lot of good information that previously has not been published. The narrator is great in the story flows perfectly. I give it five stars.

Good listen but much of the book can be heard in podcasts by the actual subject of the stories…

Good listen but much of the book can be heard in podcasts by the actual subject of the stories…Gravano, Mikey Scars, Alite, and others have podcasts that tell the stories more dramatically but there are definitely many that haven’t appeared in a podcast.

was ok

wasn't that impressed. Purportedly about Gottis killers, but doesn't really go into detail regarding John Gottis hitmen. It's a general mob book rather than centered around any specific individuals.
