Description

Remember this great line from The Godfather Part Two: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" It's just one engaging example of the wisdom of both real-life and cinematic mobsters captured in this entertaining collection. The words come from gangster luminaries ranging from Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel to the Corleones, and from films including Pulp Fiction. Packed with wiseguy insights into business, management, and life--plus plenty of photos of the highlighted figures--this is one of the most handsomely designed, exciting compendiums compiled in years.
