Smalltime

"Smalltime" is a compelling memoir that explores the history of small-town organized crime in America through the author's personal family story. As Russell Shorto uncovers his grandfather’s past as a mobster in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the narrative intertwines broader stories of immigrant resilience and the clandestine networks that spanned midcentury America. Richly detailed and infused with humor, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into a hidden chapter of American history.
