Publisher's Summary
In the 10th audiobook in the multimillion-selling Killing series, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard take on their most controversial subject yet: The Mob.
Killing the Mob is the 10th audiobook in Bill O'Reilly's number-one New York Times best-selling series of popular narrative histories, with sales of nearly 18 million copies worldwide, and over 320 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list.
O’Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of 20th-century organized crime in the United States, and expertly plumb the history of this nation’s most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, O’Reilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby-Face Nelson. In addition, the authors highlight the creation of the Mafia Commission, the power struggles within the “Five Families”, the growth of the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the mob battles to control Cuba, Las Vegas, and Hollywood, as well as the personal war between the US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.
O’Reilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a listen that rivals the most riveting crime novel. With Killing the Mob, their hit series is primed for its greatest success yet.

Great Audible and riveting history.
A smoothing voice for this gritty history. It puts together not so long events in an engrossing story format.
Looking forward to more in this series.

You'll throw out all your Sinatra records
Following the old writer's adage of "show, don't tell," this is a fascinating listen. I always believed Frank Sinatra had only a small connection to organized crime but if the claims made here are accurate, I can no longer listen to his music. The only drawback: the book goes into great detail about everything from the 1920s to the 1970s, then seems to rush the pace for everything that's more recent. If it's too dangerous to write about living mob figures, the authors should have simply said so.
