SUMMARY
"The tale of Carlo Gambino, the boss of bosses, sitting in a storefront in Little Italy doling out favors to residents who lined up around the block, stirs in us daydreams of unlimited power and prestige, but when his successor, John Gotti Jr., had to put up his own house as collateral for bail, we are merely reminded of our own unpaid bills. GOTHAM UNBOUND charts this morally salutary decline and permits us to make up our minds--Is a quarter extra for your pants too much to pay for the Mafia fantasy in which you never have to say you're sorry?"Jacobs, James B. is the author of 'Gotham Unbound How New York City Was Liberated from the Grip of Organized Crime', published 2001 under ISBN 9780814742471 and ISBN 0814742475.
