520 |a Birkbeck takes readers deep inside the inner workings of the mob from the perspective of William "Big Billy" D'Elia, the "adopted son" of legendary organized crime boss Russell Bufalino. For decades Bufalino presided over the five families in New York- and others throughout the country. D'Elia was a witness and participant to major historical events that have stymied law enforcement to this day. He served time in federal prison, but remained conspicuously silent about his connections to Bufalino, organized crime, and the events he has been a part of-- until now. -- adapted from jacket
