The Rochester Mob Wars

The Rochester Mob Wars

............is a true story about the rise and fall of the Rochester Mafia.  The Rochester mob, in it's heyday, boasted over 40 "made" members, before internal strife and power struggles led to it's demise by self destruction.
          During the late 1970's and early 1980's, there were internal struggles for control of the enormous gambling profits raked in by the gambling parlors.  Those struggles turned into shootings, bombings and murders and were eventually dubbed "The Rochester Mob Wars,"  by the  local authorities.  
          The leadership of the Rochester Mafia would change hands several times during those years, yet still survive. But the mob wars eventually took their toll on the "organization" and  culminated with the majority of it's members ending up dead, in prison or in the Federal Witness Protection Program.
          The book, Rochester Mob Wars, covers the rise of the Rochester Mafia in the late 1950's and early 1960's,  through the fall of the mob in the late 1990's when the majority of the organization had been decimated by internal strife, including the mob controlled  Teamsters Local #398 in Rochester which was disbanded for "lifetime affiliation with the mafia."
