Reliable Sources on organized crime during Prohibition


Hi,
I have been looking for some good essays and other internet sources that give detailed information on organized crime during the Prohibition era. Much of what I've found on the internet so far has been utter crap, so some good links would be much appreciated.
Thx.

Re: Reliable Sources on organized crime during Prohibition


A have a book called "Murder Inc" (can't tell the author as book packed away in a very large box) which deals with the rise of the Mafia in the USA and other organised crime groups. Very good stuff on prohibition - and deals with events up to the 1980s.

Here's a wiki link - though I know my book is not the Turkus book - it does deal with many of the gangsters mentioned.
