Very good background information on Frank Costello. I have had a hard time finding very much information on him. A lot of it is a repeat of things I have read but I also was able to find out a lot of new information. In my opinion Frank Costello was more respectable than many of the people who are in charge of "respectable" businesses today! He is my favorite from the world of organized crime!

As the title implies, this book takes a more humane look at Costello. Of course, there is very little actual data out there regarding his activities as a New York crime boss.
