"There's a good chance somebody's gonna get whacked over this book.I don't care. Far as I'm concerned, they had it comin"." - Michael Corbitt. "The contract on Michael Corbitt's life just went up.Double Deal KOs the Chicago Outfit. What Corbitt has to say deals a major blow to organized crime.He'll never be safe again." - Joe Pistone, author of Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia. "Whoever said crime doesn't pay hasn't read Double Deal. Of course, Michael Corbitt isn't the first law enforcement officer corrupted by money and power; he's just the first to write about it in such a riveting way." - Kevin R. March, former assistant U.S. attorney, Organized Crime Strike Force. "Michael J. Corbitt.one of the most notoriously corrupt police officers in the recent history of.Chicago." - Thomas Scorza, former assistant U.S. attorney. "A provocative expose of organized crime and its unholy alliance with world leaders, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement, Double Deal is a forty-year saga told with unflinching honesty by mob insider and former chief of police Michael Corbitt. Growing up poor and angry, Michael Corbitt fought his way up the ranks of greasers and street gangs until he attracted the attention of Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana, who place him on the Willow Springs, Illinois, police force. By the time he was appointed chief of police, he'd also moved up the Outfit's ranks and was living the high life of a respected mobster. Corbitt's luck turned when he was indicted on charges of racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder. Although there was a mob contract on his life and he was facing a twenty-year sentence, he refused to testify against organized crime figures under the witness protection program, maintaining instead the mafioso's code of silence - omerta - until his release from prison. Now Corbitt breaks that silence, holding back nothing - including the account of his personal involvment in the brutal murder of the wife of Chicago mob attorney Alan Masters. Making no excuses for his dual existence, Corbitt bares his soul, confessing in graphic - sometimes horrific - detail a life lived as both saint and sinner, a life that moved back and forth between the conflicting worlds of the police officer and the gangster with schizophrenic ease. Delving deep into the shadowy underworld, Corbitt divulges - for the first time ever - the explosive story of organized crime's "mystery man," the brilliant Chicago mobster who has been the real power behind the Outfit's throne for almost thirty years. Corbitt paints a frightening picture of a man he knew all too well, a man who would do anything to control the Outfit's international gambling and money-laundering empire worth billions. Corbitt's stunning revelations have been corroborated by FBI agents and court and government documents. From the murder of Chicago boss Sam Giancana to the myth of a "clean" Las Vegas, he tells it like it was - and still is. From Noriega to the Shah of Iran, Israel and its deadly Mossad, drug running, arms deals, money laundering, murder, and intrigue, it's all here in Double Deal, making this as much the story of one man's amazing double life as it is of the mob's terrifying reach into our world today." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition gold boards, black spine and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Yogi Berra; Author Dedication; Introduction; Epilogue and Appendix. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "In more than a century of baseball history, there is only one player who has won the most championship rings - Yogi Berra. He has ten of them, in fact. One for each and every finger. In Ten Rings, Yogi, for the first time, tells the stories behind each of those remarkable championship seasons, spanning 1947 through 1962, baseball's golden years. It was a time when players played for the love of the game, working as maitre d's and salesmen and pipe-fitters in the off season to put food on the table, a time when dynasties were born and baseball became the national pastime. And what a pastime it was. With Yogi Berra at their heart, Casey Stengel's Yankees took on their heralded archrivals: the Cleveland Indians, the New York Giants, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and, of course, the Boston Red Sox. And with those teams was Yogi's constellation of contemporaries, a who's who of the Hall of Fame: Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Phil Rizzuto, and many others. Each season brought its own drama. In 1947, Yogi the rookie struggled behind the plate, and his unlikely physique - knock-kneed and barrel-shaped - made him the target of a cruel media that wondered whether he even looked like a Yankee and nicknamed him "The Ape.". But the name calling didn't faze Yogi. After all, he said, he didn't have to hit with his face. And he had the last laugh. In 1949, Bill Dickey came out of retirement to, as Yogi said, "learn me his experiences" and mold him into the Hall of Fame catcher he would become. Then came a string of five consecutive Yankees World Series championships, which no other team in history has ever matched. The year 1951 was Joe DiMaggio's final season.and Mickey Mantle's first. In 1956 there was Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series. And it's all brought to life by the man who witnessed it. Ten Rings is a one-of-a-kind story told by a one-of-a-kind guy, the beloved Yogi Berra." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Welch, Chris (book design); Aquan, RIchard L. (jacket design); Whyte, Douglas (photographs of championship rings) (illustrateur). …
