[History Hounds] Bad Blood: Detroit’s Giannoli-Vitale War with Daniel Waugh, Author

Daniel Waugh's book, Vinnitta: The Birth of the Detroit Mafia, traces the origins of the Motor City Mafia back to western Sicily and beyond. Learn about one of the most destructive gang wars in the history of Detroit – a feudal butchery which claimed dozens of lives and even included an armed raid on the Wayne County Jail.
