Honor Thy Father was a good book, but I liked Double Cross better. Double Cross is about Sam Giancana, the book talks about his involvement in JFK's assassination and killing Marilyn Monroe.

yea, that was a good one. also, i read about micheal franseze(sp?) i cant remember the name of the book right now (his dad was sonny franzes) if you can reference it or find it, it's a very good read...tell the part the mob played in the gas crunch of the 70's and his fight with his dad to take the mob legit...great read. i've read alot of those books and none were better than sam giacana though.

Got honor thy father, Gotti, The biography of Sammy Gravano, several books on the JFK assasination, a book (I forget what it's called) based on the real movie of Goodfellas. That is a good book. It talks about a lot of the things you don't see in the movie. Like why they really whacked Billy Batz, Tommy's bad temper, How Jimmy used to kill kids and wives, etc....
