A Brief History of Gangsters: The Greatest Crime Bosses from Around the World

In this volume, New York Times Bestselling biographer, Brian J Robb, explores the histories of the most prominent gangsters and crime bosses, ranging from those operating in the Old Wild West, to the Prohibition Era and Great Depression, focusing on gangsters and mobsters in the United States, Western Europe, Southeast Asia and South and Central America alike. Readers will learn not only life histories of key figures but also some of the larger details surrounding the operations of the Chinese Triads, the Japanese Yakuza, the kingpin mob bosses in the United States, and even the drug cartels of Columbia and Mexico.
