一位在布鲁克林红钩区长大的黑手党幸存者讲述了纽约黑手党在那里血流成河的触目惊心的犯罪传奇......一百多年来,布鲁克林的红钩区一直是有组织犯罪的 “零点”。谁控制了码头,谁就控制了一切。从世纪之交臭名昭著的爱尔兰黑帮 “白手党”,到几代人之后掌管总统街的臭名昭著的意大利人加洛兄弟以及其他一切,红钩区的血腥历史是美国犯罪活动最强大、最腐败、最冷酷无情的故事。这里有黑帮的残酷袭击、枪林弹雨,也有有史以来最多姿多彩的刽子手的暗杀。绰号“疯帽子”“刽子手”“野人比尔”和“木桩腿”的杀手们的无赖长廊。布鲁克林酒吧斗殴事件,让 “疤面煞星 ”阿尔·卡彭留下了传奇的伤疤。美国第一个西西里犯罪家族的教父,他的手被砍得血肉模糊,能把人吓个半死。作者作为黑手党保镖的儿子,在成长过程中亲身经历了多起枪击事件。《红钩》中有令人瞠目的公共暴力和个人复仇故事,有对黑手党生活方式的生动洞察,还有对美国头号通缉犯家族的震撼描写,是所有对美国有组织犯罪历史着迷的人的必读书。The shocking crime-drenched saga of the New York mobs in Red Hook, Brooklyn–where the streets ran red with blood–by a Mafia survivor who grew up there . . . For more than a hundred years, the Red Hook section of Brooklyn was Ground Zero for organized crime. Whoever controlled the piers controlled everything. From the infamous Irish gang known as The White Hand at the turn of the century, to the notorious Italian Gallo brothers who ran President Street–and everything else–generations later, the blood-soaked history of Red Hook is the story of American crime at its most powerful, corrupt, and coldly efficient. It’s all the brutal mob hits, bullet storms, and backstabbings of the most colorful cutthroats to ever terrorize the streets. A rogue’s gallery of killers with nicknames like “The Mad Hatter,” “The Executioner,” “Wild Bill,” and “Peg Leg.” The Brooklyn bar fight that gave Al “Scarface” Capone his legendary scars. The godfather of America’s first Sicilian crime family whose gruesomely mangled hand could scare men half to death. And, to bring it all home, the author’s own eyewitness account of multiple shootings growing up as the son of a Mafia bodyguard. Packed with jaw-dropping stories of public violence and personal vengeance, vivid insights into the Mafia’s way of life, and shocking portraits of America’s most wanted crime families, Red Hook is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the history of organized crime in America.
