Chicago has long been a haven of organized from, home to such celebrated
figures as Al Capone, Lucky Luciano and Sam Giancana. In Black Gangsters
of Chicago, author Ron Chepesiuk focuses on a lesser known group, the
annals of black organized crime in Chicago, characters who have had as
deep and unique an influence on organized crime in the Windy City. The
author profiles the key players in the nation's largest black organized
crime population and traces the murderous evolution of the gangs and
rackets that define Chicago's violent underworld.
