Blunt and unsparing, it is a first-hand account of murder, money, and corruption told by wiseguy-turned-witness Nick Caramandi, whose testimony put Nicky Scarfo and many of his associates behind bars for the rest of their lives. A prime target for hit men to this day, Caramandi continues to survive only through the government's Witness Protection Program. In this updated edition of Blood and Honor, author George Anastasia picks up the story where he left off, filling us in on the fates of all the characters--major and minor--in recent years. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great readThis is a book that can not be read without some afterthought. A real eye opener into the Scarfo family. One of the mafia related best reads. Rating: - Great classic mob exposeThis Mafia family is no more or less violent than the other Mafia families there are numerous books on,despite the title claimer.There is alot of really bad English,primarily double negatives as Nick Caramandi,an FBI informer, relates his life of extortion and murder to the reader.The tale is believable.In this book wiretaps,surveillance, and informers are the tools used by the law authorities to bring down the Scarfo mob of Philly.Scarfo himself comes off as a throwback to the Capone days of "white ... Read More Rating: - Great book on Philly MobThis book is very insightful into the violent and egotistical Scarfo family in Philadelphia during the 1980s. These were REAL killers who thought they were in the movies and it's amazing to see and hear where and how these events took place and then drive 30 mins to South Philly and see the real locations. The inside story from Nicky "The Crow" Caramandi is amazing and I even saw a show on Nat Geo channel about this story. Scarfo was a complete megalomaniac and it became his undoing, which the book ... Read More Rating: - bloody honorIf you are into mob books, this is one for you to read. Nick Caramandi wrote a tell all book. He leaves nothing to the imagination. He tells you how he started out with low level scams and worked his way into the mafia. He tells of the many murders that occured during the reign of Nicky Scarfo. Some people were killed to gain power, some to seek revenge and others for the slightest infraction. Much like the "Iceman", Mr. Caramandi admits to committing murders. He tells us who was murdered, why they ... Read More Rating: - Awesome!!!!!!!!Talk about disfunctional!!!! This book starts fast and doesn't slow up at all. Nicky Scarfo gives a new meaning to the expression " abuse of power". There isn't a lick of honor anywhere in this family. The breakdown of the Bruno killing, Phil Testa's send off, and the treachery used to get Salvie Testa showed that there is no such thing as a "family". I've read over 42 books on the mob. The only one that comes close is "Murder Machine". Constant plotting and backstabbing brought this family down and I'll be ... Read More
