And press them Al does, no matter the risk or cost of human life. However, his actions draw unwanted attention from both sides of the law until the friction becomes too much. Something must give. And the city will never be the same.Uncover the truth of the story along with V, a struggling writer determined to sift through the ashes, no matter the implications.

Of Empire And Illusion is a great book! The story is engaging and the journey the author takes you on is not only informative but shows the devotion to the family inside the mafia. Well written, well researched. Hard to believe this is the author’s first book. Can’t wait for more from JR Hazard.

5.0 out of 5 stars mesmerizing glimpse into American history

If you love well written history, this book showed me things (mob life) that I knew very little about. It was horrifying at times, but made the people real and often worthy of empathy. Not at all what I usually read, but I absolutely couldn't put it down and highly recommend it.
