Summary: fast-paced story, great real-life characters
Comment: Having grown up in Youngstown, and now residing in Cleveland, this book was quite insiteful to me. A lot of familiar names and faces. A must read for anyone interested in organized crime, politics, history, etc... Makes you wonder "what if", regarding the hit on Danny Greene.

Rating: 5
Summary: A great read
Comment: I lived in Cleveland during this period.
It was an amazing time.
As an Irish Catholic I had some affinity with Danny Greene, but realized he was basically a gangster no matter what his public persona as a community and labor leader.
Rick Porello does a fine job of telling this amazing tale.
I only hope the plan to make it a movie goes forward, I'll be first in line.

Summary: To Kill An Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia
Comment: Being a Clevelander I found this book to be wonderful. Being able to identify names and places made this book even more interesting. I definitely like the factual information instead of a "hollywood" reporting style. If you have read other mafia related stories, this one helps tie the names and places together during that era. I would defintely like to see this story portrayed in a movie.
