Résumé du livre
Organized crime today exerts a growing influence on American politics. It has become a force with which every politician must contend. A forceful and well documented presentation of the "inside story" of the activities of the Mob in the governmental sphere is needed to impress upon the American public the severity of the problem. This is not that book. Using the case study approach, Dorman attempts to describe the inroads organized crime has made at all levels of government--municipal, state, and federal. Although each of Dorman's examples of Mob activity is nicely detailed, "Payoff" is by no means an exhaustive or definitive study of the topic.
