  • New York City Gangland by Arthur Nash

Throughout the United States, there is no single major metropolitan area more closely connected to organized crime than New York City.


With the federal prohibition on alcohol in 1920, Gotham's shadowy underworld began evolving from strictly regional and often rag-tag street gangs into a sophisticated worldwide syndicate that was--like the chocolate egg crème--incubated within the confines of its five boroughs. New York City Gangland offers an unparalleled collection of rarely circulated images, many appearing courtesy of exclusive law enforcement sources, in addition to the private albums of notorious racketeering figures such as Charles Lucky Luciano, Al Scarface Capone, Joe The Boss Masseria, Crazy Joe Gallo, and John Gotti.
