Instant #1 New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller!

In the tenth book in the multimillion-selling Killing series, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard take on their most controversial subject yet: The Mob.

Killing the Mob is the tenth book in Bill O'Reilly's #1 New York Times bestselling series of popular narrative histories, with sales of nearly 18 million copies worldwide, and over 320 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

O’Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of 20th Century organized crime in the United States, and expertly plumb the history of this nation’s most notorious serial robbers, conmen, murderers, and especially, mob family bosses. Covering the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, O’Reilly and Dugard trace the prohibition-busting bank robbers of the Depression Era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby-Face Nelson. In addition, the authors highlight the creation of the Mafia Commission, the power struggles within the “Five Families,” the growth of the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the mob battles to control Cuba, Las Vegas and Hollywood, as well as the personal war between the U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.

O’Reilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a read that rivals the most riveting crime novel. With Killing the Mob, their hit series is primed for its greatest success yet.

The binding is terrible, lots of glue in the pages and there are several pages that look as if the ink was smeared all over the pages. Both of these issues are visible in the pics.I am enjoying the book though and I think it’s one of Bill and Martin’s best.

Kudos to Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard for their well-written, and fact filled, historical account of the unknown yet widespread influence of illegal and government corruption intertwining influences of how powerful organizations such as organized crime operate to also corrupt, control and influence governments worldwide . The book "Killing the Mob", is eye opening and shines a bright light on the frequent, yet often unknown and secret collusive relationships that have long existed in halls of power, including organized crime, in centers of government power, and in the making or breaking of celebrities. The stories and facts told in this remarkable book make it well worth the time and readers will be astonished by the wisdom and insight shared across decades of well researched factual investigation. A remarkable work! The authors provide coherent and compelling story and share new untold information including the connections between the mob and figures such as JFK, Frank Sinatra, and J. Edgar Hoover and reveal the dynamics of power and corruption of the the Mob and the government.

3.0 out of 5 stars “Killing in the Mob” not the Killing Champion.
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2021

The formative novels in the Killing series are “Killing Jesus”, “Killing Lincoln”, “Killing the SS,” and “Killing Crazy Horse.” Living up to the prose of these heavyweights is difficult and Messers. O’ Reilly and Dugard fall short with “Killing the Mob”.

Given the narrative, “Killing the Mafioso” or “Killing La Cosa Nostra” are more accurate titles, since the novel covers the Italian Mafia in America (with some references to Sicily). In Boston and Chicago from 1900-1980 the Irish Mob was prominent and often embroiled in turf fights with the Italian Mob. The Irish Mob was involved in politics, bootlegging, prohibition, et al. When Joseph Kennedy entered on the scene in “Killing the Mob”, the authors opened the door to start pouring Tullamore Dew and singing Danny Boy, but to no avail. The Irish Mob does not even get a whisper in these pages. Given Mr. O’Reilly’s heritage, it is surprising he did not dramatize the Irish mobsters Henry Hill, Danny Green, Dean O’Banion, and the titan James Joseph “Whitey” Bulger jr. (for years FBI’s Most Wanted). (T.J. English penned “Paddy Whacked” in 2006. This is a well-researched history of the Irish Mob, a terrific book, but I would have loved to read the Killing authors “spin” on the Irish Mob history.)

The beginning of the book details the harrowing tales of Bonny and Clyde, John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson. The writing is scintillating. The authors are adroit, crafting page turning prose about these ex-felons, but with one glaring issue: They are bandits, the Robin Hoods of the American Depression and Post-Depression. They were not organized or hierarchical like La Cosa Nostra or the Irish Mob. These characters are not the Mob, so why are they in the book? Their stories encompass the entire first part. Their stories do not blend with the Italian Mob or the Mob theme. Precious pages were devoted to these outlaws, when a parallel narrative with the Irish Mob would have proved more interesting.

JFK, RFK and J. Edgar Hoover occupy a lot of space in this novel. These characters were fleshed out in “Killing Kennedy,” and revisited Ad Nauseum in “Killing the Mob”. The information is redundant in many instances. The Kennedy expose is not fresh material. Again, Joseph Kennedy was heavily involved in Hollywood beginning in 1926 ( so was the mob) and invested in Scottish distilleries, which punctually went online immediately after Prohibition ended. There are hypotheses which implicate the patriarch Kennedy in clandestine mob businesses are not addressed in the novel. But Kennedy aside, the Irish Mob’s history in Boston is significant. Whitey Bulgar’s brother Billy was President of the Massachusetts Senate, while Whitney wielded supreme power in South Boston for decades!

This is a thrilling read. I read in two days, evenings after work. It was worth the $30, but I am extremely disappointed the authors did not touch on the Irish Mob, instead spending valuable pages on non-Mob related exploits of Depressions Era bandits and revamping the Kennedy story from a prior book. “Killing Mob” is a not a 20th Century American Mob story, but only an Italian one. Perhaps that what Mr. O’Reilly intended.
