This true crime memoir of 1950s Brooklyn shares a revealing look at life inside the Mafia at the height of its power.   Frank Dimatteo was born into a family of mob hitmen. His father and godfather were shooters and bodyguards for infamous Mafia legends the Gallo brothers. His uncle was a capo in the Genovese crime family and bodyguard to Frank Costello. With family connections like those, Frank knew everybody in the neighborhood—and they knew him. After dropping out of high school, Frank lived gangster-style with the boys on President Street.   In this lively memoir, Frank tells it like it really was growing up in the mob. He shares wild stories about everyone from the old-school Mafia dons and infamous “five families” to the new-breed “independents” who didn’t answer to nobody. He had a front row seat as the Gallo gang waged war against wiseguys with more power, more money, and more guns. And he reveals the shocking deathbed confessions that will blow the lid off the sordid deeds, stunning betrayals, and all-too-secret history of the American Mafia.  The President Street Boys was originally self-published as Lion in the Basement.

Dimatteo’s writing will never be mistaken for Mario Puzo’s but life isn’t fiction either. Dimatteo tells it like it was: a dark and self-indulgent life where only a few got rich at the expense of others as well as their own souls and the unsettling knowledge that any day could be their last.I can’t review this book objectively because I know this neighborhood, both now and then, as well as a few of the characters that Dimatteo wrote about. I believe I even met Dimatteo at a waterfront district bar. I was a regular at Steve G’s bar on Hicks Street in the 90s too and this book pretty much confirmed my observations about The Life — that it was an extended family of guys who lived and died based on the Score, which was rarely as glamorous or as profitable as the Lufthansa heist in the 60s but were mostly chump change schemes to carry one over to the next opportunity. In this respect they were like feral animals in the big city looking for tonight’s meal with no guarantee that they would find the next one before the consequences of the feral life found them first. This book is an honest telling of what I believed I knew.Dimatteo wrote about how some cops were schoolyard bullies but I’ve long thought that they were both cut from the same cloth: predator vs. predator, although I have a lot more respect for those who at least did it “honestly” and not cowering behind a badge of authority, or the power of wealth, politics and respectability either for that matter.If nothing else this is a good “stay in school, apply yourself and keep your nose clean” read.
