THE INCORRUPTIBLES: A True Story of Kingpins, Crime Busters, and the Birth of the American Underworld,
by Dan Slater
This is the sordid and riveting history of the Jewish contribution to organized crime. Slater chronicles the heyday of the Jewish underworld on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, from the Gilded Age, when Jews began challenging Irish control of gangland, through the Jazz Age, when the Italian mob began to wrest away power. He offers a view of this underworld, framing his story as an epic battle between the gangsters, with their co-conspirators in law enforcement, and a small cadre of Jewish reformers — “the Incorruptibles” — who are determined to clean up the Lower East Side.
