4 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
In the tenth book in the multimillion-selling Killing series, Bill OReilly and Martin Dugard take on their most controversial subject yet: The Mob. Killing the Mob is the tenth book in Bill O'Reilly's #1 New York Times bestselling series of popular narrative histories, with sales of nearly 18 million copies worldwide, and over 320 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. OReilly 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 nations most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, OReilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie & 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 U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa. OReilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a read that rivals the most riveting crime novel. With Killing the Mob, their hit series is primed for its greatest success yet.

Not just about the Mob, but about the infamous outlaws of the depression era. If you‘re a fan of mafia movies, you‘ll like this. Quick read overview histories.

I think this is the best book I read out of Bill O'Reilly's Killing Series. It was so interesting to me. It not only looked at the mafia but also JFK, Robert Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, the Rat Pack, J. Edgar Hoover and many more famous people. I love a nonfiction book that I learn things from and this one did not disappoint in that area. I listened to the Audiobook through the Libby App.
