Book Reviews of To Kill the Irishman: The War that Crippled the Mafia

Book Review: To kill the irishman
Summary: 5 Stars

I gave this book an A because it is one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read in my life. Its not a tough read and Rick Porrello does an excellent job of the describing the chaos that was going on in Cleveland during this time period. The beginning of the books tells you about Danny's troubled past growing up in Collinwood, a large Cleveland neighborhood. He lost this mother at a young age and his father sent his to life with his grandfather. I believe that part of the reason he turns to a life of crime is because of his extremely troubled childhood. He was very charismatic as a kid so he made friends very easily. Often times with the wrong crowd though. He got in many street fights as a kid and in minor trouble with the police. Even though you know he is a bad man you grow attached to him and start to almost like him. As he grows up he gets more and more involved with illegal activity and eventually breaks his way into the big time and is competing with the Italian mafia. The book is very interesting and intriguing. I highly recommend it for a nice quick easy read.
