Los Angeles Underworld by Avraham Bash
From the blackhanders and bootleggers of the early 20th century to political corruption and the rise and eventual toppling of a Mafia family, the history of organized crime in Los Angeles visually chronicled within this work possesses the same level of intrigue, glamour, and murder as the films that made the City of Angels iconic. Los Angeles Underworld showcases an extraordinary collection of rare and previously unpublished images pulled directly from family photo albums and top secret police files.
J. Michael Niotta, grandson of famed Angeleno Jack Dragna, writes of an L.A. kept from the palm-tree-packed brochures. The SoCal native who hates the sun and never learned to surf gained notoriety in custom culture magazines and onstage as a touring upright bassist. The former plumber and mechanic now holds a business doctorate but still sports a blue collar. The Iraqi Freedom veteran with fifteen years of service is a member of OSIA, Conquistadors C.C. and the Rosie Network's Service2CEO program.
