Motor City Mafia: A Century of Organized Crime in Detroit
chronicles the storied and hallowed gangland history of the
notorious Detroit underworld. Scott M. Burnstein takes the reader
inside the belly of the beast, tracking the bloodshed, exploits,
and leadership of the southeast Michigan crime syndicate as never
before seen in print. Through a stunning array of rare archival
photographs and images, Motor City Mafia captures Detroit's most
infamous past, from its inception in the early part of the 20th
century, through the years when the iconic Purple Gang ruled the
city's streets during Prohibition, through the 1930s and the
formation of the local Italian mafia, and the Detroit crime
family's glory days in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, all the way to
the downfall of the area's mob reign in the 1980s and 1990s.
