Industry Reviews
--Joseph L. Albini, Contemporary Sociology
-Sets a new standard for historians of organized crime. It is distinctive for the breadth of its viewpoint and the quantities of its sources. As a sociologist writing from the perspective of conflict theory, Block emphasizes power and the politics of organized crime.-
--Criminal Justice History
-Dr. Block adds greatly to our knowledge of New York mob history.-
--Times Literary Supplement
-One of the most important books to be published on organized crime in the last several decades. It is certainly a book organized crime analysts and investigators should read, and deserves a place in most departmental law enforcement libraries.-
--The Police Chief "East Side-West Side represents a valuable contribution to the field and will be of interest to sociologists in general; to criminologists, particularly those interested in organized crime; and to historians, especially those who deal with the history of New York during the 1930s and 1940s. Block has done his research with meticulous care and never draws conclusions that are not warranted by the data."
