Since The Godfather premiered at the Cina Capri Theater in Phoenix in 1972, I've been hooked. Enamored with Mario Puzo books and the movies Goodfellas and Casino, I've been infatuated with the history of the mob.
I just finished a book called "Tony Accardo is Joe Batters", which confirms or debunks many Godfather themes, as well as comparisons of main characters Vito Corleone to Tony Accardo, Tom Hagen to Murray Humphreys, Hymen Roth to Meyer Lansky, and Johnny Fontaine to Frank Sinatra. Included is a complete history of the Mafia in Hollywood and Las Vegas, as well as a chronicle of the mobbed-up career Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack.
The book is crammed with facts and trivia, a must-read for any Godfather fan. I give it 5 stars! I found it on Amazon.
