The book chronicles his life from his early days as a small-time hustler to his rise as a major player in the world of organized crime. Through his own words, Diamond tells the story of his involvement in various illegal activities, including gambling, loan sharking, and prostitution. He also discusses his relationships with other well-known figures in the underworld, such as Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano. The book provides a fascinating insight into the criminal underworld of the time, as well as the political and social climate that allowed it to thrive.
