" ~prohibition era Detroit was a place of tremendous wealth and brutal violence. The boom years that this country witnessed after World War I brought great wealth to many For those with newfound prosperity, it became a status symbol to invite their personal bootlegger to their parties and to hobknob with known gangsters. The life of the gangsters was a glamorous one. Not only did they supply the booze, they carried with them an aura of excitement and danger. The Violent Years, a companion volume to Kavieff's best~selling book The Purple Gang, tells the story of these wild times. The Purple Gang, briefly covered here, was a predominantly Jewish group of thugs. Though the Purples were the dominant organized crime force in Detroit, there were numerous others, representing many European ethnic groups. All scrambled to grab a piece of the profit to be made selling illegal liquor. It is these secondary groups that are the grist for this book. In these pages you will read about the gruesome gang warfare that went on between two Italian mobs, the Giannola and Vitale gangs. Kavieff describes in detail the brutal kidnappings that were the specialty of the Irish "Legs" Laman Gang. Then there were the bold daylight holdups executed by the Polish Jaworski gang as well as many other unbelievable acts of crime and violence ~The Violent Years shows how the Italian mafia families consolidated their power and cornered the market on such rackets as narcotics and numbers running, thus paving the way for Detroit's modern mafia family.".
