[very nice copy, tight and clean with no discernible wear; jacket shows only a touch of soiling to the front panel, slight dog-earing at top front hinge]. "Are mobsters interesting people? Are they really rich? Are their lives glamorous? Dangerous? What about their women? Their social lives? Their hobbies? Their advancement in the careers they have chosen for themselves? Here, finally, two experts deliver an authentic picture of the people behind organized crime -- crime as a business run by businessmen with an eye for money, sex, political power, and relaxation among other rich people in other businesses, preferably in pleasant climates where the women are shapely and the entertainment never stops." (Pictured and quoted on the rear jacket panel are Virginia Hill (Bugsy Siegel's girl), Moe Dalitz, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, Tony Accardo, and Al Capone.)
