Book Description

Here is the critically acclaimed inside story, now in an expanded edition, about the rise and fall of Philadelphia's notorious Scarfo organization. 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.

Reader Reviews

This 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 explains fantastically. Highly recommended for mob enthusiasts and Philadelphians alike.
