Book Reviews of The last testament of Lucky Luciano
Book Review: Fun, but wholly unreliable as history
Summary: 1 Stars
The atmospherics and gangster's slang in this breezy book come across as pretty convincing. But in terms of historical accuracy these so-called memoirs are absolutely worthless. There is no proof that "Lucky" Luciano said any of the words attributed to him. Even if he did, there is no reason to believe that he was telling the truth or that his memory was faultless. For two excellent studies of the mafia, try "Fascism and the Mafia" by Christopher Duggan, and "Cosa Nostra" by John Dickie.
