Excellent- More about Iceman of Brooklyn: The Mafia Life of Frankie Yale
Frankie Yale was a New York mobster of the early 20th century who had a significant influence on the Mafia, including New York's five Mafia families and Chicago's outfit. He was involved in two notorious underworld assassinations and a five-year war to control Brooklyn's docks. His murder marked the first use of a Tommy gun in gangland warfare, and his passing destabilized Gotham's Mafia, paving the way for an upheaval that modified and modernized the structure of American syndicated crime for the next six decades. This is the first biography to survey his life and career.

Frankie Yale, a prominent New York mobster of the early 20th century, left a lasting impact on the criminal world. His proteges included future leaders of New York's five Mafia families and Chicago's outfit. Yale's influence extended to Chicago, where he personally carried out two notorious underworld assassinations and waged a five-year war to seize control of Brooklyn's docks from Irish rivals. His murder marked the first use of a Tommy gun in gangland warfare in New York City, which would later be used in Chicago's St. Valentine's Day massacre seven months later. Yale's death destabilized Gotham's Mafia, paving the way for a significant upheaval that modified and modernized the structure of American syndicated crime for the next six decades. Despite his prominence during his lifetime, this is the first biography to comprehensively survey his life and career.
