Provides a readable and informative analysis of how and why we arrived at our present understanding of organised crime in the Unites States. By going back to the original accounts of the events that inform our understanding of much of the subject, this work will question some of our most deeply held assumptions on crime and its role in US society.

Why do Americans alternately celebrate and condemn gangsters, outlaws and corrupt politicians? Why do they immortalize Al Capone while forgetting his more successful contemporaries George Remus or Roy Olmstead? Why are some public figures repudiated for their connections to the mob while others gain celebrity status?

Drawing on historical accounts, the author analyzes the public''s understanding of organized crime and questions some of our most deeply held assumptions about crime and its role in society.
