About this item

From Barnes & NobleFor decades, Philadelphia Inquirer journalist George Anastasia (The Last Gangster; Mobfiles) has been tracking the bloody path of the American Mafia and nobody does it better. In fact, Jimmy Breslin called Anastasia's Blood and Honor "the best gangster book ever written." For his latest book, this industrious crime sniffer found a formerly well-placed source: John Alite is now a guest of the federal penitentiary system, but in years past, he racked up a truly frightening record as a close associate of Junior Gotti. Witness just his guilty pleas: two murders, four murder conspiracies, eight shootings, armed home invasions and armed robberies in several states. In Gotti's Rules, Alite spills the bloody beans on a career spent with mobsters who mean it.
