Book Reviews of The Silent Don: The Criminal Underworld of Santo Trafficante Jr.
Book Review: A much better book
Summary: 4 Stars
I canned the first book, Cigar City Mafia, but this is a much better book, well done Mr Deitche! The llfe of Santo is covered in detail from his early years to his demise. The author has done a fine job of describing his path to power in the Tampa mafia and his corruption of police and public officials along the way. His role in the national mafia operations is decribed well and Santo comes across as an astute, careful don, his activities in Cuba are well detailed and at one stage it appeared the communists might not let him go!
The book is weakest in linking Santo to the JFK killing, the bibliography contained all pro conspiracy books and none to the contary like case closed by Gerald Posner, Mr Deitche needs to read it to get a better informed view of the JFK killing, other wise a very good book!
