A lowly street kid born in 1940, he went from being a nobody to the head of the most powerful crime family in America. He was ruthless, coveted power, and demanded absolute loyalty and commitment to his criminal causes. He was considered untouchable and not even law enforcement agencies could keep him behind bars. This is the story of John Gotti.
Gotti had a harsh but simple rule in dealing with anyone who challenged his authority. He had them killed. He was a member of the Gambino crime family but even had his own boss, Paul Castellano, murdered to rise to the top. There was no criminal activity that he was not a part of and under his leadership, the crime family became the richest among all other crime families.
Despite violating all standards of being an upright citizen, people loved him because of his demeanour and the way he presented himself. But who was he as a person and how did he achieve his position?
Here's a preview of what you'll discover in this book:
John Gotti's childhood and joining the mob
His activities as a loyal member and rising up the ranks
Being recognized at the official member of the cartel
Launching a murder spree and battle for control
Reaching the top of the mob and evading prosecution
His eventual downfall and legacy
..... And much more!
Gotti was brought down by law enforcement officials after a lifetime of pursuit. He was convicted, imprisoned, and died a quiet death in his prison cell. During his lifetime, he had reached an almost mythical figure, a darling of the crowds, and a nightmare for the legal system. This book will grant you unique access to his life and how he strategically reached the echelon of his profession.
