Killing the Mob is the tenth book in Bill O'Reilly's #1 New York Times bestselling series of popular narrative histories, with sales of nearly 18 million copies worldwide, and over 320 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
O’Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of 20th Century organized crime in the United States, and expertly plumb the history of this nation’s most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, O’Reilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby-Face Nelson. In addition, the authors highlight the creation of the Mafia Commission, the power struggles within the “Five Families,” the growth of the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the mob battles to control Cuba, Las Vegas and Hollywood, as well as the personal war between the U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.
O’Reilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a read that rivals the most riveting crime novel. With Killing the Mob, their hit series is primed for its greatest success yet.

一代黑帮图景,扣一星是因为比较简略。

Bill O’Reilly这一系列小百科都挺好(读者受众应是美国低年级中学生)。这次讲的是美国黑帮,20年代银行劫匪,胡佛崛起,5大家族和黑帮辛迪加,黑帮与肯尼迪兄弟,以及电影“爱尔兰人”中一些情节的背景。 虽然本书对美国黑帮如何衰落的解释太少且没有什么说服力,我倒是好像明白了一个道理:有组织犯罪的做大一定和勾结官府有关。
