Gambino: The Rise
Now for the first time ever, the true story of Carlo Gambino is told in full, gory detail. In 1921 an illegal immigrant by the name of Carlo Gambino snuck into the United States. He was penniless when he arrived. Years later, he would become the wealthiest and most powerful man in America; more powerful, even, than the President of the United States. Through sheer cunning, he would rise to the top of the American mafia, the country's most insidious, and sovereign, criminal brotherhood. Gangsters of mythic standing - like Al Capone, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Vito Genovese - would become mere pawns on Gambino's chess set. Yet few knew, or know, his name, let alone his accomplishments. Until now. Gambino: The Rise, the first literary work of its kind, shines a light on the heretofore mysterious, yet meteoric, rise of America's most secretive ans successful mafiosos. Don Carlo Gambino, capo di tutti capi: The boss of all bosses.
