The Gambino family is one of five that control organized crime in New York City, Most people think of John Gotti when they think of the Gambinos. My book looks at an earlier era, beginning with the family's move to take over the garbage industry in Mount Vernon, New York. This began in 1964 when the town's incinerator was burned and the mayor declared a state of emergency in the town. Joseph Feola's waste handling firm was brought in by a town official and began to haul the trash to New Jersey. He presented Mount Vernon with a sizable bill for $27,000 which was paid in full. This is one of the topics that I discuss in my e-book.
