Back to Boss of Bosses: The FBI and Paul Castellano Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great book and hard lessons. Comment: First off, I'd like to say that I appreciate the way the authors were to Paul Castellano. They weren't necessarily sympathetic, but they were respectful. Some people ask why respect a killer, many people kill for many different reasons, currently, many people are killing other people under the guise of war. They respected him as a human being, a flawed person like the rest of us and saw no need in treating him poorly which is bad tact for anyone of any stature. With all that aside, this is a great book into the inner workings of Cosa Nostra, it aptly shows the older members of the old ways and the ways in which they dealt with the world around them. It is very true that those ways are essentially gone. The book overall shows a human being that had risen to power and slowly loses his grasp on all that he obtained. It also shows the death of the old ways and a birth to a newer and less successful new age of Cosa Nostra. Salud, to the agents that showed genuine respect to another human being, regardless of his standing in life. Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty good Comment: A pretty good book. The FBI had a big head and ego but the book is still good. Customer Rating: Summary: Well written Comment: The authors are the ones who actually got past the Dobermans, broke into the Castellano mansion, planted the bug, and then listened to it for all those months! Gloria, the maid and mistress who lived with Paul Castellano for his final ten years, also provided the authors with many insights. It just doesn't get any more authoritative than this. The authors also *very* briefly summarize points of Mafia history (such as Donnie Brasco) along the way. Most of the chapters are only a few pages, which makes it convenient to stop and resume. Customer Rating: Summary: The great narrative Comment: This is a great story about an alternative way to power and fame. Customer Rating: Summary: too much fbi Comment: they can take down big paulie but they can't save our crumbling country from their treasonous higher-ups. when i buy a mafia book i prefer to read about the mafia, not about the boring ass cops. its like 75% feds, 25% mob. don't read unless you're interested in the fbi. its not a true mafia book Back to Boss of Bosses: The FBI and Paul Castellano Showing page 2 of 7 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
