Surviving the Mob: A Street Soldier's Life Inside the Gambino Crime Family
What do you do when the law wants you behind bars and the New York crime families want you buried? That was the life or death dilemma confronting Andrew DiDonato, who began his criminal career at age 14 under the watchful eyes of the local mob. By the time he was 17, the infamous Gambino crime family made DiDonato an associate of the Nicholas Corozzo crew. For the next 14 years he was a loyal street solider committing dangerous and profitable crimes including: burglary, forgery, extortion, loan sharking, bank robbery, drug dealing, witness tampering, and attempted murder. He was also involved in the underworld gambling operations, which took in millions dealing dice and cards, booking sports and horses, and running numbers. Between these pages you'll find the most in-depth look at Mob gambling every published. At age 31, DiDonato ran afoul of both the law and his friends, turning him into a hunted man on two fronts. After 17 months on the run, he was lucky the law caught him first. Surviving the Mob is a cautionary tale of the harsh reality of a criminal, inmate, fugitive, and witness who--so far--has lived to tell the tale.
