Resumen del Editor

In the 10th audiobook in the multimillion-selling Killing series, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard take on their most controversial subject yet: The Mob.

Killing the Mob is the 10th audiobook in Bill O'Reilly's number-one New York Times best-selling series of popular narrative histories, with sales of nearly 18 million copies worldwide, and over 320 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list.

O’Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of 20th-century organized crime in the United States, and expertly plumb the history of this nation’s most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, O’Reilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby-Face Nelson. In addition, the authors highlight the creation of the Mafia Commission, the power struggles within the “Five Families”, the growth of the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the mob battles to control Cuba, Las Vegas, and Hollywood, as well as the personal war between the US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.

O’Reilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a listen that rivals the most riveting crime novel. With Killing the Mob, their hit series is primed for its greatest success yet.

another great read & very informative history

as usual great writing style I felt I was there experiencing in real time fun reas

Great presentation of the Mob

Interesting and riveting....truth has more dynamic than fiction...worth the time and has history that was previously mystery about J Edgar Hoover

Amazing Book

Love all the Killing books. This one is one of my favorites. Narrator made this book one I had a hard time putting down. Looking forward to his next book!

excellent

the narration of this book is done so well it makes it hard to stop listening.

Much better then I thought it would be

I thought not another one but I really enjoyed it. And it kept my interest. It does seem to end in the 1970s to early 1980s only briefly touching on modern day organized crime. But that makes sense how would he really get present information. I really enjoyed the book

Solid but....

I love thr Killing Series and when I found out he was doing one about the Mob I started counting down the days. first of all the narrator is incredible he always does a great job in The Killing series. My personal favorite is killing Patton or killing the SS. I'm not sure if I had this book so hyped in my head before I read it if that's why it was a little disappointing it had some really good information and if you like The Killing series you'll enjoy this book but if you like The Killing series and Mafia history you'll probably be disappointed but enjoy it at the same time if that makes any sense. if you dislike Bill O'Reilly politics and you get this book just to complain about it then you're an idiot

Fascinating historical Info on the Mob

Really loved it. It had somewhat of a slow start but by the middle of it I was hooked.

Super emotionally engrossing story.

New and exciting story of the Mafia, told in perfect O'Reilly fashion. a real page turner, and will keep you up, unable to stop listening.

A good listen.

Loved it. Although it was kind of short for the subject matter I feel it was informative and entertaining.

Good not great

Journalistic, gripping, fast moving, wel paced. Anecdote after anecdote to flavor the narrative. Very good
