His testimony sent more than fifty mobsters to prison and prompted many others to make the same choice, including John Gotti's top aide, Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano.In Mob Boss, award-winning news reporters Jerry Capeci and Tom Robbins team up for this unparalleled account of D’Arco’s life and the New York mob scene that he embraced for four decades.Until the day he switched sides, D’Arco lived and breathed the old-school gangster lessons he learned growing up in Brooklyn and fine-tuned on the mean streets of Little Italy.
