5.0 out of 5 stars insightful, 7 April 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: But: He Was Good to His Mother - Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters (Hardcover)
After reading more than fifty books by crime experts, I was thrilled to find this pick. This is in my opinion, one of the best accounts of jewish gangsters. More than sensational headlines Mr. Rockaway dives into the soul of the gangster. I was especially proud of the reference to my father, Allen Smiley, and the ancedote that went with it.
