Title: Lackluster Mob Tale
Product review: A straight up biography of "Crazy Joe" Gallo, who led a bloody revolt against Brooklyn mob boss Joseph Profaci in 1960 and then, a decade later, Profaci's successor Joseph Colombo. Nothing new or groundbreaking here. The author basically recounts Gallo's criminal career, the years he spent in various New York State prisons, and his murder in a Little Italy, Manhattan, seafood restaurant in retaliation for the attempted assassination of Colombo at an Italian-American Unity Day rally ten months earlier. (Colombo remained in a vegetative state and eventually succumbed to his wounds in 1978). Worth a read, but, again, very little in these pages that even any casual follower of the Gallo mob's exploits probably doesn't already know.
