Sinopsis:
The story of the American Mafia is not complete without a chapter on Kansas City. The City of Fountains has appeared in the The Godfather, Casino, and The Sopranos, but many Midwesterners are not aware that Kansas City has affected the fortunes of the entire underworld. In The Mafia and the Machine, author Frank Hayde ties in every major name in organized crime-Luciano, Bugsy, Lansky-as well as the city's corrupt police force.
Reseña del editor: Offers a history of the Kansas City mafia, describing how they infiltrated and corrupted the local government, Tom Pendergast's role in Harry Truman's political career, and the organization's downfall due to federal convictions and in-fighting.
