viii+500pp+illus. The adventures and exploits of Tony 'Joe Batters' Accardo (the Real Godfather), Murray 'The Camel' or 'Curly' Humphreys, Paul 'the Waiter' Ricca and Johnny Roselli. The Outfit moved with purpose and panache, blending effortlessly with the corporate heads, Hollywood moguls and national political icons and it was only after a fifty-year run that their world started to crumble in the 1970s. Taken from newly released FBI documents, Chicago crime files, the first access to the massive working papers of the Kefauver Committee, the first ever access to the journals of Humphrey's widow and other documents, the author uncovers sixty years of corruption. Includes Sources and Index.
