Lucky Luciano's posthumous memoirs may well have cost him his life. The partner of Meyer Lanksy and Bugsy Siegel, the man who created and controlled the "Commission" and the set down the rules, wanted to have his side of the story on record. It turns out that most of Luciano's criminal activity coincides with the history of the Mafia in America in the first half of the twentieth century and beyond. In preparation for a film of his life story, the famous New York gangster living in a golden exile in Naples recounted the main incidents of his life to producer Martin A. Gosch. Back in the United States, the new leaders of the Mafia were not pleased about the project that had almost reached completion and was ready to be turned into a screenplay. It is almost certain that their displeasure was communicated to "Charlie Lucky" with a hint to forget about the idea altogether. But Luciano went ahead anyway, compelled by the need to tell all and in some way offer an explanation about a life of crime. After taking a sip of espresso coffee at Naples airport as he waited for Gosch to land, Luciano died of a massive heart attack. Or was it something else' The film was never made, so this book remains the only account of the life of the man known as the "Boss of Bosses." Martin A. Gosch is deceased, and Richard Hammer lives in New York City.

Exposes vastly under-explored topics compared to other media reports and books on Jeffrey Epstein How did Jeffrey Epstein manage to evade justice for decades? Who enabled him and why? Why were legal officials told that Epstein “ belonged to intelligence” and to back off during his first arrest in the mid-2000s? Volume 1 of One Nation Under Blackmail traces the origin of the network behind Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to the merging of organized crime and intelligence networks during World War II and follows their most notable activities through the decades. Various scandals, acts of corruption and other crimes throughout the last several decades of American history, many involving sex blackmail, can be traced back to these same networks, which have subverted and taken control of many of America' s most important institutions for their benefit, and to the detriment of the public.

From Truman to Trump, the deep corruption of our political leaders unveiled. Many critiques of the Trump era contrast it with the latter half of the twentieth century, when the United States seemed governed more by statesmen than by special interests. Without denying the extraordinary vigor of President Trump’s assault on traditional ethical and legal norms, Jonathan Marshall challenges the myth of a golden age of American democracy. Drawing on a host of original archival sources, he tells a shocking story of how well-protected criminals systematically organized the corruption of American national politics after World War II. Marshall begins by tracing the extraordinary scandals of President Truman, whose political career was launched by the murderous Pendergast machine in Missouri. He goes on to highlight the role of organized crime in the rise of McCarthyism during the Cold War, the near-derailment of Vice President Johnson’s political career by two mob-related scandals, and Nixon’s career-long association with underworld figures. The book culminates with a discussion of Donald Trump’s unique history of relations with the traditional American Mafia and newer transnational gangs like the Russian mafiya—and how the latter led to his historic impeachment by the House of Representatives.

In this irreverent ode to gonzo journalism, one writer travels the globe to explore the use of recreational drugs in cultures around the world. After I got out of jail, I was determined to find out more about how the issue of drugs not only landed me there, but has shaped the entire world: wars, scandals, coups, revolutions. I read every book, watched every documentary. I saved up to buy plane tickets. I went to Colombia, Mexico, Russia, Italy, Japan and the Afghan border—all in all, fifteen countries across five continents. Call me Narco Polo. Just as Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations did for the world of food, Dopeworld is an intoxicating journey into the world of drugs. From the cocaine farms in South America to the streets of Manila, Dopeworld traces the emergence of psychoactive substances and our intimate relationship with them. As a former drug dealer turned subversive scholar, with unparalleled access to drug lords, cartel leaders, street dealers and government officials, journalist Niko Vorobyov attempts to shine a light on the dark underbelly of the drug world. At once a bold piece of journalism and a hugely entertaining travelogue, Dopeworld is a brilliant and enlightening journey across the world, revealing how drug use is at the heart of our history, our lives, and our future.

Petit immigré sicilien dans le New York des années 1900, Luciano fait les quatre cents coups avec d'autres gamins du Lover East Side : Meyer Lansky, qui restera son ami, Frank Costello ou Rugsy Siegel. Viendront ensuite Al Capone, Vito Genovese, Alberto Anastasia, Dutch Schultz ou Nucky Johnson. C'est le temps du trafic d'alcool, des braquages et des règlements de comptes. En 1920. Luciano rejoint la famille d'un des parrains de New York. Il veut bousculer les vieilles traditions de la mafia. Son projet de syndicat du crime et son sens aigu de la stratégie l'amènent à devenir après une guerre sanglante le chef des cinq familles de Cosa Nostra. Il est alors l'un des hommes les plus puissants d'Amérique, même lorsqu'il est incarcéré après avoir été lâché par Franklin Roosevelt qu'il a contribué pourtant à faire élire... Lorsque les Etats-Unis s'engagent dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Lucky Luciano profite de la situation. Il raconte dans son livre comment, en exerçant un incroyable chantage sur les autorités américaines, il obtiendra une libération anticipée. En 1946, à Cuba, alors aux mains de la mafia, Luciano organise la conférence de La Havane qui réaffirme son leadership sur le syndicat du crime. Considérant les énormes bénéfices potentiels d'un marché en pleine expansion, il va à la fin de sa vie tisser des liens avec les mafias italiennes, et organiser le trafic international de stupéfiants avec les trafiquants corses et la pègre marseillaise. Hollywood s'intéresse à sa légende : en 1961 le producteur Martin Gosch imagine avec Luciano un scénario basé sur la vie du parrain. Le film ne verra jamais le jour tant la mafia américaine craignait ses révélations. Alors, à la veille de sa mort, le parrain dicte cet incroyable testament à son ami Martin Gosch et au journaliste Richard Hammer. C'est à partir de ces mémoires que Mario Puzo et Francis Ford Coppola ont créé le personnage mythique de Don Corleone dans le Parrain. C'est à partir du testament de Lucky Luciano que Sergio Leone a imaginé Il était une fois l'Amérique.
