β¦ Synopsis
This is the never-before-told story of the great Chicago crime family called The Outfit, the secretive organized crime cartel that began its reign in prohibition-era Chicago before becoming the real puppet master of Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Washington D.C. Moving with purpose and panache, The Outfit blended effortlessly with upperworld corporate leaders, Hollywood moguls, and national political icons. It was only after a fifty-year run that their world started to crumble in the 1970s. With extensive research including recently released FBI files, first-ever access to the voluminous working papers of the Kefauver Committee, original interviews with Outfit associates and members of the Fourth Estate, and first-time access to the journals of Outfit chieftain Murray Humphreys' long-in-hiding widow, Russo uncovers sixty years of corruption and influence, and examines the disconcerting shadow history of the United States.;Cover; Title Page; Contents; Dedication; Introduction; Prologue: Origins; Part One: The Outfit; 1 Young Turks in Charge; 2 CurlyΓ’#x80;#x99;s Racket: The Union Takeovers; 3 Playing Politics; 4 JoeΓ’#x80;#x99;s Racket: Running the Games (The New Booze); Part Two: Going National; 5 The Local Takeovers; 6 Γ’#x80;#x9C;Hollywood, Here We ComeΓ’#x80;#x9D; (The New Booze II); 7 Waking Up in the Dream Factory; 8 The Outfit: Back from the Brink; 9 Wire Wars; Part Three: Scandals and Investigations; 10 Playing Politics II: The Truman Connection; 11 The Parole Scandal; 12 Γ’#x80;#x9C;Senator Cow FeverΓ’#x80;#x9D; Hits Chicago

To Gavin Gartree's bunch of hardcases, "work" was a cussword, "innocent" was a come-on, and a young pilgrim girl was an invitation to a molestation. But nothing was quite as it seemed. For a start, the young pilgrim girl in question was accompanied by a small and seemingly inconsequential Texan by t

The pattern was always the same when "the Bad Bunch" made their raids. They chose their time when there was a county fair, or some such diversion, to take folks minds off the protection of their property. Then they'd start a fire in another part of town, so that all the local lawmen and officials wo
