In the tenth book in the multimillion-selling Killing series, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard take on their most dramatic subject yet: The Mob
Killing the Mob is the tenth book in Bill O'Reilly's #1 New York Times bestselling series of popular narrative histories, with sales of nearly 18 million copies worldwide, and over 320 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
O'Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of 20th Century organized crime in the United States, and expertly plumb the history of this nation's most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, O'Reilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby-Face Nelson. In addition, the authors highlight the creation of the Mafia Commission, the power struggles within the "Five Families," the growth of the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the mob battles to control Cuba, Las Vegas and Hollywood, as well as the personal war between the U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.
O'Reilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a read that rivals the most riveting crime novel. With Killing the Mob, their hit series is primed for its greatest success yet.

Killing the Mob is an Outstanding Page Turner and the best book I've ever read! The photos are a huge plus and in every Chapter. I like the footnotes, too. I had a little idea of the Mafia from watching The Godfather but this book goes into specific details of everything. All I can say is WOW! This is my fifth Killing Book. I have Killing Jesus, Killing Reagan, Killing Crazy Horse, Killing Patton, United States of Trump, Legends and Lies (Civil War-True West). Next up is Killing Kennedy. Thank you.

Killing The mob is a book not to be missed. Everyone who enjoys a fast paced read this is for you. I learned a lot of things concerning the mob. The read is a shocker to say the least. I could not wait to see how it ended,but then I wanted more. This book is a page turner. it is so descriptive and eye opening. I would recommend Killing The Mob to every one . This is as well written and interesting as all the other Killing books. Thank you and congratulations Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, you have another winner and best seller.
