ReviewsPraise for the work of Frank DiMatteo and Michael Benson " Carmine the Snake , written in a conversational style with street vernacular and sprinkled with Frank DiMatteo's personal anecdotes and reminiscences, offers another look at the infamous crime boss." -- The Washington Times "Dimatteo tells what it was like to grow up with mob royalty." --VICE on The President Street Boys "The authors give a detailed account of the suspected assassins . . . don't shy away from discussing Gallo's flaws . . . fans of true crime and mafia stories will appreciate the insider's look at the figures and neighborhoods that comprised New York mob life in the 20th century." --Library Journal on Mafia Hit Man "The President Street Boys is nothing like any other mafia-related book I've ever read. I loved this book. I will be reading it again in the future. The level of detail is so high, to me, it requires multiple passes to absorb it all." -- Crimespree Magazine "At times, this book is unsettling. Other times, it's humorous. No matter what part you're reading, it'll remain a tour-de-force." --Criminal Element on The President Street Boys "This title will please Mafia fans looking for gruesome details." --Library Journal on Lord High Executioner "Takes me back as if it was a time machine . . . compelling reading.

SynopsisALBERT ANASTASIA'S STORY IS TOLD IN THE FILM THE ALTO KNIGHTS , WRITTEN BY NICHOLAS PILEGGI AND DIRECTED BY BARRY LEVINSON From acclaimed true-crime author Michael Benson and real-life "Mafia Survivor" Frank DiMatteo, the gripping account of the life and crimes of the most infamous mafia boss of all time: Albert Anastasia, the man whose name is synonymous with Murder, Inc., and whose actions helped create the American Mafia. The blood-soaked saga of the Murder, Inc. legend who helped create the modern American Mafia--one body at a time--featuring shocking eyewitness accounts... Umberto "Albert" Anastasia was born in Italy at the turn of the century. Five decades later, he would be gunned down in a barbershop in New York City. What happened in the years in between--and why every crime family had reason to want him dead--is one of the most brutal and fascinating stories in the history of American organized crime. This in-depth account of the man who became one of the most powerful and homicidal crime bosses of the twentieth century from Mafia insider Frank DiMatteo is the first full-length book to chronicle Anastasia's bloody rise from fresh-off-the-boat immigrant to founder of the notorious killer's club Murder, Inc.--featuring never-before-told accounts from those who feared him most... They called him "The One Man Army." "Mad Hatter." "Lord High Executioner." Albert Anastasia came to America mean and became a prolific killer. His merciless assassination of Mafia godfather Vincent Mangano is recounted here in chilling first-hand detail. He set the record: the first man in the history of American justice to be charged with four separate murders--and walk free after each one. But in the end, he was the last obstacle in rival Mafia hoodlum Vito Genovese's dream of becoming the boss of bosses--and paid the ultimate price..., From acclaimed true-crime author Michael Benson and real-life "Mafia Survivor" Frank Dimatteo, the gripping account of the life and crimes of the most infamous mafia boss of all time- Albert Anastasia, the man whose name is synonymous with Murder, Inc., and whose actions helped create the American Mafia.
