Book Reviews of Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss
Book Review: An Excellent Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are into reading about the mafia and crime, this is an excellent book. It's an indepth look into the "gaspipe's" life and "La Cosa Nostra"; he gives a lot of details and names. It's one of the best mafia books out there; it's very easy reading. Some reviews state that some information in the book may not be true, or cannot be verified with FBI files or certain informants, but this is a biography, the information in the book is according to "Gaspipe" himself; it is what it is, you either beleive him or you don't.
The fact is that he is well known and it's proven that he was in the mafia; as far as what we know happened or did'nt happened we may never truly know, only those that were there during the crimes know 100%.How do we truly know if the FBI or the supposed informants that may contradict some of "Gaspipe's" information have the right information. All we could do is read and come to our own conclusion of what we feel makes sense with the research and information that's out there. Overall, to me, the book is excellent; there are not a lot of personal biography's of top mafiosi's out there, so I would definately recommend this book. This guy broke his code of omerta, put his life on the line, and at this point doesn't have anything to lose, so I would believe his story a bit more than many others out there; he's speaking from personal experience.
Summary of Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss
The boss of New York's infamous Lucchese crime family, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso's life in the Mafia was preordained from birth. His rare talent for "earning"?concocting ingenious schemes to hijack trucks, rob banks, and bring vast quantities of drugs into New York?fueled his unstoppable rise up the ladder of organized crime. A mafioso responsible for at least fifty murders, Casso lived large, with a beautiful wife and money to burn. When the law finally caught up with him in 1994, Casso became the thing he hated most?an informer.
From his blood feud with John Gotti to his dealings with the "Mafia cops," decorated NYPD officers Lou Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, to the Windows case, which marked the beginning of the end for the New York Mob, Gaspipe is Anthony Casso's shocking story?a roller-coaster ride into an exclusive netherworld that reveals the true inner workings of the Mafia, from its inception to the present time.
