Summary of John Gleeson's The Gotti Wars

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Gotti and Castellano had been itching to kill each other for years, but underboss Aniello Dellacroce had kept them from doing so. Gotti and the other captains loyal to Dellacroce deeply resented Castellano, who they felt was sharing in the union income.

#2 The mob had a rule against drug trafficking, and it was widely known that Castellano had dealers around him. He tried to get the incriminating Ruggiero tapes from Ruggiero’s attorney, but Ruggiero ordered his lawyer not to give them up.

#3 In 1985, Castellano sent a message to Dellacroce: Ruggiero had broken a different rule, which stated that every Mafia member must obey his boss. Dellacroce summoned Gotti and Ruggiero to his home on West Fingerboard Road in Staten Island, down the hill from Castellano’s mansion on Todt Hill.

#4 I had decided I wanted to be a federal prosecutor five years earlier, during the first couple of months of my clerkship. The civil side of the job was interesting enough, but the criminal cases were on a different plane altogether.
