Summary: "Interesting Reading"

This is a interesting commentary on the Mafia that existed and probably still does to some extent in Tampa. Having grown up in Tampa, this filled in many blanks for me as to all the Mafia happenings.

Summary: "Truth is Stranger Than Fiction- Tales of the Underworld, Well Told"

Scott M. Dietche has certainly done his homework. A brave soul for tackling such a dark, dangerous subject, he weaves intriguing stories of the Tampa, Florida, Mafia years ago.

I was particularly curious to read this book, as I am familiar with the area. Some names still have the power to make my blood run cold. In my early working career, I had the misfortune to, unknowingly, end up working for one of these characters. A very unpleasant experience, indeed.

The history of this criminal underworld helps one understand how such organizations come into being, and continue. Ybor City, a section of Tampa known as Little Havana, was once a multi-ethnic community full of hard-working people employed by the cigar industry.

But the Italian mob's lust for power and money fueled illegal gambling in the 1950's, with bolita being the most popular game. As things progressed, there were daily shootings in the streets, police were bought off, and the Cuban Syndicate entered the scene. Bodies surfaced in the Hillsborough River nearly every day.

You'll learn about the lives of characters such as Charlie Wall, the old school dean of the underworld, Santo Trafficante, patriarch of the Trafficante family; boss of the Tampa Mafia from 1928-1954, Nick Scaglione; top gambling man in Tampa for decades, and numerous other ruthless characters.

Making pay-offs to local police was routine. But one cop, detective Richard Cloud, dared to bring charges against a Mafia member, Joe Bedami, Jr. As might be expected, Cloud ended up dead.

Every chapter contains some fascinating stories, and a lot of dreadful characters. Plus there is a "Cast of Characters" near the end of the book that details names and job descriptions. To me, this was worth the price of the book alone.

Dietche notes that the Tampa Mafia remains one of the least known and most influential Mafia organizations in the country. Kudos to Dietche for shining light on this dangerous side of our society. Read it, be entertained and enlightened. Very highly recommended!
