<p>"When it comes to the giants of 20th Century underworld the names you rarely read about are often more interesting than the ones you did.&nbsp;And they wanted it that way!&nbsp;Vincent "Jimmy Blue Eyes" Alo was there from the beginning, when organized crime <em>got</em> organized by Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, Alo's lifelong business partner.&nbsp;From the formation of the modern&nbsp;syndicate during Prohibition through the creation of Las Vegas and the Mafia empire in Havana, Jimmy Blue Eyes was the ghost who slipped the grasp of gangland chroniclers.&nbsp;Until now. Jimmy raised his niece Carole Russo like a daughter-and now she tells his story from the inside out.&nbsp;A natural writer, Russo paints an intimate portrait of her own family and the leading lights of the era-Luciano, Lansky, Costello, Siegel, Sinatra, the Kennedys-that are a must-read for students of one of the most fascinating periods in American history."&nbsp;</p><p> &nbsp;</p><p>Eric Dezenhall, author, <em>The Devil Himself</em> and <em>Best of Enemies</em></p>
