SynopsisA behind-the-scenes tour of the longest-running criminal trial ever to be held in a federal court -- the so-called Pizza Connection trial, which pitted the full resources of the U.S. government against 22 Mafia defendants accused of a $1.65 billion heroin-smuggling and money-laundering conspiracy that stretched from Sicily to Brooklyn to Brazil to a chain of pizzerias. What happens when the stakes are so high that truth and justice take second place in the heat to win? The roster of names reads like a Who's Who of crime and the law, including Rudolph Giuliani, now mayor of NY, then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY and the "invisible maestro" of the entire prosecution.

GREAT BOOK, GREAT CONDITION
I read this book years ago and it was good enough to read again. The book was in "New" Condition, as promised. No small accomplishment for a book from 1988. The book has additional significance, because it includes, Rudolph Giuliani, making his name as a very competent and motivated, US Attorney, in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). He was a Super Star along with the other "Mob Busting", SDNY Attorneys, Judges and Detectives, also Super Stars. The Mob was running a pretty good operation but a dedicated group of SDNY "Untouchables", took down the Mafia. A real "page turner" and a must for anybody who wonders, "Where the Old New York Mob , went". Great Book.
