Paul R. Kavieff author of The Violent Years: Prohibition and the Detroit Mobs explores Prohibition and its impact on Detroit’s underworld and the ultimate effects on organized crime in this country. This book plunges deep into the Prohibition-era gangs of the Detroit area, and showcases the “glamorous” gangster lifestyle. It covers the origins of the infamous Italian Mafia — including the dreaded Black Hand. Founders of Detroit’s modern Mafia family, including the Irish Legs Laman mob, who specialized in brutal kidnappings, and the River Gang are illuminated with shocking detail. The author captures the flavor of the era and throws readers into the gritty and dangerous atmosphere of the region, including gruesome gang warfare, in this frightfully true book.
