Thus The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia is a long~awaited work for Mafia buffs. It describes the Sugar War, a Prohibition~era series of conflicts over control of corn sugar, a primary ingredient in hooch, bootleg booze. This is the only book to detail the first top~level national meeting of the Sicilian American Mafia. Also, this book offers the first detailed look at the life of Angelo "Big Ange" Lonardo. Big Ange boldly avenged his father's murder during the Sugar War and rose through the ranks of the Cleveland Mafia to become its boss. The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia explores the rise of the Cleveland Mafia to third in rank after New York City and Chicago. Detailed are the important connections with mega~mobsters like Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Meyer Lansky, and the Cleveland mob's move into Las Vegas. Through the sworn testimony of "Big Ange" Lonardo, readers learn about the secret life of Dr. Joseph Romano, a skilled surgeon. The mystery surrounding Romano's brutal murder, unsolved for five decades is finally solved in these pages. Rick Porrello comes from a Mafia family. He began research for The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia nine years ago to learn about the murders of his notorious grandfather and three uncles, all principals in this book. He is a ten~year veteran of a Cleveland police agency and holds a degree in criminal justice.…

From the Author
Angelo "Big Ange" Lonardo was the former boss of the Cleveland mob who turned government witness in 1983. At the time he was the highest ranking Mafioso to flip! Lonardo was facing life in prison for racketeering charges that resulted from the murder of The Irishman - Danny Greene (subject of my forthcoming book.)Greene really gave the mob a run for their $$. This book also details the murders of my grandfather and three uncles in the senseless "sugar war" - the birth of the Mafia in Cleveland.
