Shocking Stories of the Cleveland Mob

They are the Dirty Little Secrets of Cleveland's past, mob guys so good-or so bad-that you rarely hear their stories. Men such as Micky McBride turned newsboys into sluggers, gave bookies a run for suckers' losing bets and created the Cleveland Browns when football was still a sport the players knew how to win. There was the Jewish Navy, taking laundry trucks to Canada and bringing back barges filled with booze. Then there were the rug joints-the Harvard Club, the Beverly Hills Club, the Mounds Club-where Moe Dalitz mastered the art of taking your money and helped build Las Vegas, the best "man trap" in America. Join author Ted Schwarz: as he tracks wanted killers through the Statler Hotel and navigates the secret history of the Cleveland mob.
