At the Kefauver Committee hearings in the U.S. Senate in 1951, it was revealed that organized crime was extending its tentacles into Reading, PA. Five years later, after a new Democratic administration took over in the city, the IRS launched a campaign to collect taxes from gambling machine operators. Two years after that the federal Alcohol and Tax Unit raided a huge still and IRS agents completed investigations of two large numbers banks. After President Kennedy signed into law interstate gambling legislation in 1961, J. Edgar Hoover sent 100 FBI agents into Reading to arrest more than 100 gamblers in a large craps casino. Year after year local law enforcement looked the other way as racketeers took over the city. A bookie working for the Philadelphia Mafia was murdered in Reading before testifying at a grand jury hearing. The local mob kingpin, Abe Minker, was eventually convicted and imprisoned, as was Mayor John Kubacki. The war raged for six years before organized crime lost its control of vice in Reading.

In the depths of the criminal underworld, where power corrupts and fear reigns supreme, there exists a figure of darkness known only as the Underworld Kingpin. In this captivating exploration of organized crime and its devastating impact on society, we delve into the mind of a ruthless mastermind and witness the consequences of unchecked ambition. The Underworld Kingpin is a chilling portrayal of the rise and fall of a criminal empire. From humble beginnings, the Kingpin orchestrates a vast network of illicit activities, including drug trafficking, illegal gambling, extortion, money laundering, and more. As his power grows, so does his lust for control, corrupting legitimate businesses and infiltrating the highest levels of government. With each passing day, the Kingpin's grip on the city tightens, leaving a trail of human misery in its wake. Families are torn apart, businesses are destroyed, and hope dwindles as the Kingpin's reign of terror casts a dark shadow over the city. But in the shadows, a group of brave souls emerges, united by a common goal: to bring down the Kingpin and restore justice to the city. These Vigilantes, as they are known, are ordinary citizens who have had enough of living in fear. They risk everything to expose the Kingpin's criminal enterprise and bring him to his knees. The battle between the Kingpin and the Vigilantes is a gripping tale of courage, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to stand against evil. It is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, as you witness the clash between good and evil, power and justice. The Underworld Kingpin is more than just a story; it is a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for redemption and justice. If you like this book, write a review!

Throughout the 1960s, Tony Lambrianou was a trusted member of the Kray Gang. He had a unique insight into the workings of a criminal organisation whose reputation in the underworld remains to this day. But he was not just an observer and his role in the Kray story ultimately led to him serving 15 years in prison. Inside the Firm tells, with searing honesty, his violent history with the Krays - and the horrors of his subsequent imprisonment in top security institutions. In exorcising his ghosts, he reveals an account that is more impartial and more terrifying than Ronnie and Reggie ever could have written. From the murder of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie - and the mystery of his undiscovered body - to the role of the Kray legacy in Britain's prisons today, Inside the Firm is the last confession of a gangster determined to turn his back on his brutal past.

Journey into the dark heart of London's criminal underworld with **Gangsters at the Crossroads**, a gripping tale of ambition, power, and violence that chronicles the rise and fall of the notorious Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie. In the shadow of postwar London, two brothers emerged from the poverty-stricken streets of the East End, destined to leave an indelible mark on the city's criminal landscape. Ronnie and Reggie Kray, identical twins with starkly contrasting personalities, possessed an unwavering determination to rise above their humble beginnings. With their mother's unwavering support and the protection of their devoted aunts, the Kray twins navigated the treacherous waters of gang-ridden neighborhoods, honing their skills as fighters and developing a ruthless cunning that would define their criminal careers. As they matured, their ambitions grew beyond the petty crimes of their youth. Recognizing the potential for power and wealth in the world of organized crime, they embarked on a ruthless quest to build their empire. Through a combination of brutality, cunning, and a shrewd business acumen, they established themselves as the undisputed rulers of London's underworld. The Kray twins' reign of terror extended far beyond the East End. They diversified their criminal activities, venturing into protection rackets, extortion, and armed robbery. Their notoriety soared as they became fixtures in the city's nightlife, rubbing shoulders with celebrities and politicians, and cultivating an image of glamour and invincibility. Yet, beneath the veneer of wealth and power, the Kray twins were haunted by the demons of their past. Their violent tendencies and volatile tempers often led to unpredictable outbursts, and their personal lives were marred by tragedy and betrayal. As their empire crumbled under the weight of their own excesses, the walls closed in, and the law finally caught up with them, bringing an end to their reign of terror. **Gangsters at the Crossroads** is a cautionary tale about the allure of power, the corrosive effects of violence, and the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition. The story of the Kray twins continues to fascinate and horrify, serving as a reminder of the dark side of human nature and the fragility of empires built on fear and intimidation.

Louis I. Kahn was one of the most influential architects, thinkers and teachers of his time. This book examines the important relationship between his work and the city of Rome, whose ancient ruins inspired in him a new design methodology. Structured into two main parts, the first includes personal essays and contributions from the architect’s children, writers and other designers on the experience and impact of his work. The second part takes a detailed look at Kahn’s residency in Rome, its effects on his thinking, and how his influence spread throughout Italy. It analyses themes directly linked to his architecture, through interviews with teachers and designers such as Franco Purini, Paolo Portoghesi, Giorgio Ciucci, Lucio Valerio Barbera and the architects of the Rome Group of Architects and City Planners (GRAU). Rome and the Legacy of Louis I. Kahn expands the current discourse on this celebrated twentieth-century architect, ideal for students and researchers interested in Kahn’s work, architectural history, theory and criticism.
