The Outfit

This book was highly entertaining to read through and changed my view on organized crime in general. I might be slightly more prone to conspiracy theories now that I know how the Chicago outfit who grew out of Al Capone's group influenced such things as FDRs selection by the DNC to Truman becoming president on the mob's whim. I was impressed with how activities viewed as illegal when the mob did it, became legal and ok as long as those in power were running the show.
