Amazing Pictures but not a lot of information January 11, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The photos in this book are absolutely amazing and worth the price of the book. You will find it amazing that these photos have been preserved for all these years. There is very little actual information or history about the Detroit Mob. It would best be enjoyed in conjunction with a book that contained more of the history of the Detroit Mafia, Purple Gang, and Oakland Sugar House gang.

The book was GREAT.
The publication was poor. Pages 34 - 76 were duplicated and pages 77 - 128 were missing.

What John Binder did with the Chicago mob The Chicago Outfit, Scott Burnstein has done with this is an excellent pictorial history of the Detriot underworld. An must for anyone interested in Organized Crime.
Fascinating Detroit Mob History December 11, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a very vivid and fascinating history of the Detroit Mob from way back when through the recent years. This has been one of the strongest of the Cosa Nostra crime families and a full history is certainly valuable to the reader of organized crime books as well as (I suspect) the average Detroiter interested in his city's history.
Pictures are worth thousands of words, as the old saying goes, and I really like these pictorial histories. But I'm admittedly somewhat biased, having written an Arcadia book a few years ago focusing on the history of the Chicago Mob.
Motor City Photo Fun November 4, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
An interesting topic for Images of America but nonetheless a fun book. A few of the images have been used in previous titles but this collection of photos is far and away superior to anything previously released on Detroit. The high point of the book is definately the photo collection but the labeling of some of the figures contained within leaves something to be desired. An example of this occurs on page 17 where a photo consisting of a collection of Bommaritos identifies one man as Sammy Millman brother of Purple gang enforcer Harry Millman when the man is clearly Dominic Licavoli the youngest of the notorious Licavoli brothers. Not alot of historical information contained within but this is an image book not a biography. Overall a worthy addition to the crime collection and a first of its type to be sure.
