Great overview of the heyday of the Mob/Outift - CIA link to Kennedy's Assassination.......2007-05-19
To tell you the truth, I heard about this book for a few years before I found it in a Goodwill bookstore. Something you wouldn't normally find in a Christian store. Nevertheless, I was excited to see it for under $5, so I picked it up.
I was kinda interested in the book because I heard there were some links between the Mob/Outfit and the CIA and Kennedy's assassination. I was really intrigued. So, I read it.
The first bit is setting the stage for the main course of the book. Background and history of Sam and Chuck's upbringings, interactions, beatings, etc. Quite shocking to say the least. Now, the excessive violence of Sam is not something to be read by the squeamish. The language, and vulgarity is profuse in the book. In the context of the book, it is necessary though. To get the true nature of the man that was intimately involved in the climax of the mob's influence in America, and what we find out is around the world, too.
Nevertheless, we see Sam Giancana from the viewpoint of Chuck Giancana, Sam's little brother. Sam becomes Chuck's surrogate father because Sam is so violent, and insists he will take care of Chuck. So unsettling to realize how dysfunctional some families can actually be.
The multiple gory details of what Chuck saw is really unsettling. It is hard to imagine this happening between 50-60 years ago in America! Sex, drugs, music, adultery, spying, murder, intimidation, stealing, drug running, lottery rigging, loan sharking... the list goes on. Everything you've heard about that the Mob/Outfit does, he documents. Oh yeah, Marilyn Monroe is also in the book, related to the Mob/Outfit. Read it and find out!
The link to the CIA and John and Jack Kennedy is amazing. Truly a masterpiece written. I do believe that with the information coming out now about Kennedy's death - deathbed confessions of the real killer - will only strengthen this book's credibility. Not that it needs it, but will maybe perk up some onlookers to actually read it.
Enjoyed the book and strongly encourage those of you to pick it up.
Fact or fancy, readers must decide for themselves.......2006-08-03
I first read this book about ten years ago. I found it to be quite interesting, particularly the part which deals with the rise of organized crime in Chicago in the 1920s-30s. I didn't like the way the book was written, however, and I heavily discounted much of the latter part of the book because I couldn't believe that America's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) would work hand-in-hand with organized crime, and because I, like most Americans, still held the Kennedys in high esteem. If I had read the "Authors' Note" in the front of the book, I probably wouldn't have been quite so critical as to how the book was written; and if I had known how corrupt Joseph P. Kennedy and his sons were I likely wouldn't have discounted much of what I did earlier. In any event, after reading two or three more recently published and thoroughly documented biographies of the Kennedys, I decided to go back and re-read and re-evaluate this book.
Based on this second reading, I have concluded that this book is one of three things: an accurate historical biography of Sam Giancana and his criminal empire as told from the perspective of his well informed younger brother, a historical novel, or a public service message and wake up call for all Americans. Perhaps it is a combination of all three. My inclination is to believe that most of the information contained in the book is true, but I still find the latter part of the book, that which deals with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert, to be somewhat hard to believe.
Organized crime has a long standing reputation for taking care of its friends and an equally well earned reputation for taking care of its enemies; so it's not hard to believe that Sam Giancana orchestrated these murders, as well as that of Marilyn Monroe. But, I still find it hard to believe that two future presidents and high ranking officials in the CIA knew about or were parties to these happenings. Or maybe I just don't want to believe it.
In any case, since I can't figure it out, my suggestion is to read this book along with two others and then make up your own mind. Those books are: "Joseph P. Kennedy: The Mogul, the Mob, the Statesman, and the Making of an American Myth" by Ted Schwarz and "The Dark Side of Camelot" by Seymour M. Hersh.
(By the way, ex-sailors will particularly enjoy this book since the crude language used by the mobsters will likely bring back a host of salty memories.)
Wake Up America! This Book Is Worth Consideration.......2006-06-25
Whilst I agree that this book is sensational and written to cash in on the Giancanna name, I would advise all of the reviewers who dismiss the JFK/MOB link to read up on Jim Garisson's investigation into the assassination and, no less, the Warren Commission Report as well.
Sure, Chuck Giancanna is a two-pit leech (by his own account), and Sam Giancanna probably had an ego the size of an elephant, but learn to weigh up the sources.
The lone-gunman theory that this book arguably sets up makes a hell of a lot of sense. A lot more sense, thank you very much, than one Lee Harvey Oswald being able to shoot so well from such a bad angle. Oh, and do any of the reviewers who pan this book know anything about the magic bullet theory, put forward by a so-called expert as "evidence" that there were only three shots fired at Kennedy?
Sam Giancanna may not have been as powerful as his brother makes out. He probably didn't sleep with MM the weekend before she died, but if you read the book by MM's former maid, Lena Pepertone (excuse the spelling), then you will know the conspiracy theory about MM's death should not be taken lightly either.
Read Jim Garrison's well-researched books on JFK and read the blessed Warran Commission Report, between the lines if you can, and you will find all the corroborating evidence you need to accept much of what is said about SG in this book.
A Good Read!!!! Reads Like a Novel!!.......2005-08-26
This book kept my interest through most of it and was a pretty easy read. While all the information in the book may not be true, it makes you wonder what parts are true.
I recommend this book for anyone, not just those interested in the mob.
Double-Cross.......2005-08-04
I'm sure some of the copy was embellished but the vast majority is as factual as you can get. Sam Giancana was a mobster but was a person also, the book brought out both sides. The New York mob has nothing on Chicago's.

A plane you'd do anything to fly...but pay for the gas.......2000-11-29
The B-70 was the logical follow-on to existing American strategic bomber designs of the 1950's and represents a typical product of what is now known as "the Golden Age of Aviation". During those cold-war days, no idea or design seemed too crazy to merit attention, money, and the lives of test-pilots. Of these, the B-70 stands out - a plane as big as a large jet liner with a top speed over 3 times the speed of sound and the ability to sustain altitudes of over 70,000 feet (in the days when commercial aviation had received its first jets) - if only because the B-70 actually delivered.
Two prototypes were built and ably demonstrated their ability to attain the lofty goals of their designers. Instead, it was the age that doomed the triple-sonic bomber. The concept of high-altitude level bombing, already proven outdated in the Korean skies, seemed medeival by the days when Robert Mcnamara ruled the Defense Dept., and the Valkyrie's huge price-tag couldn't have helped. While the Valkyrie program would have been doomed by the proliferation of Russian air defense missile technology (which had claimed at least 2 high altitude U-2 spy planes by the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis) and the development of a Russian fighter fast enough to catch the bomber, these factors had less to do with cancelling the program than justifying its demise in hindsight. While the U-2 shootdowns traumatized American planners, latter experiences of American aviators over Vietnam shows how little attention planners gave to Russian desgned SAM's in terms of equipment, training and tactics. One would have to attribute to Mr. Mcnamara and military planners, two widely divergent opinions regarding Russian missiles relating to both the B-70 and Vietnam. American aircrews had to leanr from scratch in Vietnam the complicated science of air combat in the missile age. For existing bombers like the B-52, high-altitude level bombing remained the rule. Neither can rumors of the mystery Russian figher with a Mach-3 top speed be taken as a serious factor in the B-70's cancellation - that plane, the MiG-25, hadn't even flown by 1964, when the Valkyrie was already a lame duck. Until then, the MiG was merely a collection of unsubstantiated rumors unlikely to merit attention in Washington (and certainly too insignificant to save from cancellation the Mach-3 fighter program). Most likely, the B-70 fell victim to a general aversion to all manned bomber in favor of ICBM's. Besides the apathy towards SAM's demosntrated in Vietnam and the obscure (at best) threat of the MiG-25, consider the fact that once the Valkyrie was cancelled, the military made no efforts to find a replacement. (In contrast, the gap left by cancellation of the F-111B was immediately filed by the F-14). as a result, B-52's were still flying combat missions nearly two decades after our pullout from Vietnam. More overt antipathy to manned bombers helped kibbosh the B-70's purported successor, the B-1A, and nearly doom the B-1B. Defense contractions after Vietnam, a shift towards low-level penetration and electronic arfare, and SALT talks of the early 1970's further make the image of active service B-70's further surreal.
In fact, given how spectacularly the plane performed, it's astonishing that it remained surrounded by a cloud of doom. the authors give the B-70 the full survey - tracing its origins in the anything-goes age of Curtis le May, to its demise in the fiscally conservative Mcnamara days. The authors take no sides in the controversy over the Valkyrie, even remain restrained when retelling of the tragic and purposeless destruction of the second prototype -lost in a freak collision with a NASA-flown F-104. The incident occurred, not during some test, but during a photo-op (both planes used GE-built engines). Nevertheless, it remains for the end for the authors to reveal a sense of sentimentality towrads the plane. Leaving the surviving first prototype on the ramp in Dayton, where it would become an exhibit at the USAF museum, the last Valkyrie pilots walk away seemingly impassive. If either of them looked back at the mighty (and now earthbound) beast, they would never tell.
Excellent historical/technical writing on an amazing plane........1998-03-27
This book, and it's followup volume in the Aero series, is an excellent historical and technical chronicle of this amazing 200 ton, Mach 3 airplane. The author covers the earliest roots of it's conception, through development and flight test, concluding with the tragic loss of the second craft and the retirement of the first to the USAFM. It contains an interesting selection of rarely seen photographs of the airplane and the pilots who flew her. It also contains a chronology of all flights of both craft, the pilots involved in each, and the specific performance objectives and achievements. This book is highly recommended to every enthusiast of jet powered flight and particularly to those interested in flight test history of the fifties and sixties.
Book Description
The North American XB-70 Valkyrie was an attempt to build the ultimate offensive weapon fo the Cold War - a heavy bomber capable of flying at Mach 3 and reaching targets deep inside the Soviet Union. The aircraft that emerged was one of the most graceful large aircraft ever to fly, and one that looked everybit as fast on the ground as it ws in the air - over 2,00 mph at high altitude. It was years ahead of its time. But politics and changing requirements ultimately doomed the Valkyrie program to only two aircraft. Neighter was a true prototype of a weapons system, and instead was used to test the concept of such a large aircraft flying so fast.The authors have uncovered a great deal of new matierial on the XB-70 program - both on the aircraft as flown, and on what the proposed production aircraft would have looked like had they been built. Many never-before-seen photographs and drawings are included in the book. Details of the defensive perspective with the politics and economic realities that caused its cancellation.

Finally.......2004-05-26
For years I have been waiting for a decent book on this airplane. Several earlier books were less than ideal, but I was beginning to think that perhaps there was no other data available to authors, hence the constant rehash of the same things (to be fair, the Jeannette Remak book contains a lot of interesting programmatic information, but remarkably little the hardware). Because of that, I have been avoiding purchasing this book.
Well, I finally saw a copy of it in a store so I picked it up. I was very surprised. The authors have found a great deal of data that is not in the other books, along with a great collection of photos, many of which are either new, or at least seldom seen.
Considering the minimal price of the book ($16.95) it is a remarkable bargain with good printing on smooth, glossy paper. The only disappointment was that there are only 8 pages of color photos, but given that the airplane was essentially all-white, this is not a major problem.
If you want a good book on the B-70, but this one and skip the others.
A Refreshing Change.......2004-04-27
I have always been a fan of this aircraft and have traditionally picked up every book written on it. However, I ran out of steam when the same material began showing up in all the books - the same stories, the same photos, the same everything. So I initially passed on purchasing this one.
A friend told me I should give it a try, and the purchase price was minimal so I ordered it. What a surprise. Lots of new photos, new information in the clearly-written text, good paper, and great printing. Well worth the effort.
Wow!.......2004-03-03
What a great airplane! Despite the fact that is is over 40 years old, this is one of the most exciting aircraft to ever take to the skies. The authors have done a fantasic job documenting why the airplane was wanted and why it was never put into production. There are lots of details about its construction, systems, and troubles, as well as its triumphs (30 minutes at Mach 3 in a 500,000-pound airplane!) and tragedies (the mid-air collision of the number two airplane). This is easily the best book ever written on the subject, especially considering its under-$20 price. Highly recommended for anybody interested in the subject.
Easily The Best.......2004-02-06
This airplane has long been a favorite of mine and I have been looking for a book that does more than scratch the surface of its history. This book accomplishes that, along with a lot of good photos and line art. A fair amount of detail about the high-energy fuel program and various proposals to build operational bombers is covered in addition to the normal history of the two prototypes that actually flew.
I have read that the authors intend to release a larger volume on the B-70 later in 2004, and I am planning on buying that one also.
Well Researched History.......2003-10-05
This book takes a more balanced approach to telling the story behind this fascinating aircraft than most earlier books. Instead of concentrating on what might have been, the authors concenrate on what was, with very little editorializing on possible missed opportunities - nobody will ever know if the B-70 would have made a good bomber.
What this book does contain is a well-written, straight-forward text that details the history of the airplane, its flight program, and a good, but brief, technical description. The photographs are well reporduced, many of them seldom seen, and the overall production quality is excellant.
If you want a book on the B-70, this is a good starting place.

Book Description
The best-selling chronicle of Ronald Reagan’s spirituality—and how it forever changed the world.
Customer Reviews:
Religion and History.......2006-09-21
This is an excellent book outlining the spiritual life of Ronald Reagan. A subject not generally covered by the secular media. This is also a book about his contribution to the fall of the Berlin wall and the Soviet Union. A must read for history buffs who want to know "the rest of the story".
Faith led him.......2006-03-09
Ever wonder what shaped and made President Reagan such an optimistic, influential leader; here it is. Paul Kengor, in his 2004 biography of the former president, explains how Reagan's Mother Nelle, brought him up in the Christian faith; which led him to convert to it at a young age, and how his faith helped shape his Presidency and policies.
Reagan grew up in Dixon Illinois, graduated from Eureka College, became an actor who stared in 53 movies, governor of California, and later, #1 in the oval office.
It also includes background to Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech, his assassination, and meetings with Pope John Paul II, Mother Theresa, and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev
This Book Rocks! It will give you a load of insight into his life. His optimism will rub off on you.
An excellent read........2005-03-02
This book is well-researched, and Dr. Kengor gives us great insight into the faith of Ronald Wilson Reagan and the role that his faith had in his public life. Kengor uses many of Reagan's speeches and writings as well as the memories of those who knew the Gipper well to reveal a man whose faith in Jesus Christ remained deep and consistent through more than 60 years of public life, both in Hollywood and in the political arena. Obviously, Reagan's faith had its greatest influence on his lifelong battle against Communism, beginning in Hollywood and continuing throughout his entire political life. During his "Evil Empire" speech, Reagan said "The source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual...And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow man." The President once spoke before a group of evangelical Christians and stated that the Cold War would be won not with bullets, bombs or missiles, but through our nation's great faith in God. By the end of the 1980's, that faith had prevailed and the great Soviet threat had been all but defeated. Following Reagan from his early childhood to his triumphant mission to Moscow, Kengor illustrates how Ronald Reagan, as both a spiritual leader and as a political leader changed the world, and changed the course of America, for the better.
Historical--and spiritually moving!.......2004-11-16
I just loved this book! It was not only an interesting history lesson, but one of the most spiritually-inspiring books I've ever read. I am planning to get "That Printer of Udell's" to satisfy my curiousity about this book that had such a profound effect of Reagan's childhood. I'm also interested in reading Whittaker Chamber's "Witness." Wow--one good book just leads to others! Anyway, "God and Ronald Reagan" is an amazing book that I highly recommend to anyone. (I'm under thirty, and I loved it, so I hope other young people will as well.)
Accurate, Factual and Excellent Piece of Work!.......2004-09-29
I just finished reading the book, "God and Ronald Reagan, a Spiritual Life". Although I was voting when Ronald Reagan was elected, I was unaware of or had forgotten his mission and his boldness in speaking the truth. In a world now that has either forgotten the evil that Communism was and still is or has been duped into thinking that there no longer is good and evil just differing viewpoints, it was so refreshing to be reminded of the truth.
I was absolutely amazed at how forthright and uncompromising Ronald Reagan was. Professor Kengor does a superb job of setting the stage for all Ronald Reagan would do as President by describing in great detail his mother, his father, his church, his acting and time in leadership there, and his GE job which gave him great opportunity to hone his public speaking skills and his message of freedom of religion.
I was so impressed with how Ronald Reagan carefully chose his words and took advantage of the opportunities presented to him, especially in Chapter 18, "Missionary to Moscow". He just never backed down, even when his advisors told him should. And, the words of truth he spoke to the Communist USSR. He never wavered from his core of religious beliefs.
Truly inspiring! What a man he was! It is clear that Professor Kengor painstakingly researched and wrote this book, with the desire to be factually accurate and to show us another side of Ronald Reagan that was perhaps unknown to us. This is a book worth reading!
