Beschreibung
"By the time I started school at four years old, all my classmates knew we had Mob connections."That's how Robert and Carol Teitelbaum's Hiding in Plain Sight begins. Reader-be-warned, this one isn't for the faint of heart: strap yourselves in for a bumpy ride-a-long with the Chicago Mob filled with tension, drama, and true crime grit.Without giving too much of the story away for readers, I will say that Robert Teitelbaum's parents, Esther and Abraham Teitelbaum, were both Mob attorneys for the likes of the legendary Al Capone, Ben Seigel, and other members of the Chicago Outfit. Teitelbaum shares intimate details about his parents' respective upbringings and the experiences that eventually led them to the incendiary lives they lived. The book offers insight into the paths forged by the pair, which ultimately converged within a fiery world of brutal infighting, corruption, murder, and 'winner-take-all' battles for power.Not many people realize the depth of the Mob's influence on American culture in the first half of the 20th century. This is a truly insightful and at times disturbing journey into a world that most have only learned about through movies and TV shows...until now.
