Charlie The Jew Yanowsky Political Corruption, Mob and Union Activities in New Jersey

Charlie Yanowsky aka Charlie the Jew was boss of the Hoboken docks and an organizer of the International Longshoremen's Union (AFL). My ebook looks at Yanowsky's background from his youth in New Jersey. A New Jersey governor maintained close ties with Charlie before the gangster was ice picked to death in the summer of 1948. Charlie did a stint in Alcatraz Prison before returning to the east coast as strongman of the New Jersey piers. One time he was shot in the back by federal agents but made a miraculous recovery to continued his criminal career. My e-book also looks at an Arsenal gang that police raided in a west side New York warehouse in 1936. This group of gangsters was inventive in the arsenal of weapons it used to rob banks and other establishments. One of the gang members had devised assault weapons that were unique for the 1930s era.
