Comment: A very informative book and interesting. Since i am locale it sure is mind boggling to know about
the mob and how they operated in the Phila. and N.J. areas. Read a lot of books on the mob and this
one beats them all on the Scarfo family. Best book I read for a very long time.

Summary: best mob book ever!!
Comment: once you pick this book up, you won't be able to put it down.
I aftoo admit I have a little
more interest than your average
reader ,since i was raised in south philly , and I was
friends
and enemies with a few of the people. The philadelphia crime family is the most
interesting . Starting with Don Angelo Bruno
one of the most powerfull an smartest godfather
with illegitimate and legitimate businesses in philly new york,florida, and even London. He was the
only godfather outside of ny to sit on the commision in NY .
Once he was murdered ,It was the
beginning of the end for philly.

Summary: Blood and No Honor
Comment: "Blood and Honor" is a well-researched account of the Philadelphia/Atlantic City Mafia family headed
by Nicky Scarfo. The primary source of the author's information is Nick Caramandi who turned to the
witness protection program once he became one of the many people on Nicky Scarfo's hit list.
Caramandi is a low-life crook and murderer who claims of duping and robbing only the greedy, not the
innocent. However, it is evident that anyone from whom he could make a dollar was fair game. For
example, the young pharmacist he scammed didn't know that Caramdi was connected and eventually
committed suicide once he knew he was in over his head. Nicky Scarfo was the volatile and paranoid
Family boss who killed his most loyal people one-by-one at the slightest bit of perceived threat.
The story of this family and Caramdi's account of the events are interesting and gripping at times.
This Mafia Family could be described as backstabbing, violent, disorganized, and greedy, but not the
"most violent". Anyone interested in the most violent family of organized crime, should read the
"Murder Machine" which describes in great detail the brutal murders committed by Roy Demeo's gang -
a faction of the Gambino crime family. Finally, there are so many names mentioned in "Blood and
Honor" that the who-and-what of the story is sometimes hard to follow. Had the author not included a
special section for the names of the people involved, the story would've been even harder to
follow.

All in all, "Blood and Honor" is an interesting book for those interested in
factual accounts of Organized Crime.
