The Brotherhoods is the chilling chronicle of the shocking crimes of NYPD detectives Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito, notorious rogue cops convicted in April 2006 of the ultimate form of police corruption-shielding their acts behind their badges while they worked for the mob. Their crimes included participation in the murders of at least eight men, kidnapping, torture, and the betrayal of an entire generation of New York City detectives and federal agents.

"One of the most spectacular police corruption scandals in the city's history," proclaimed the New York Times in its front-page coverage of the verdict. This gripping, true-life detective story is remarkable for its psychological intrigue, criminal audacity, and paranoid, blood-soaked fury. Written by prize-winning journalist Guy Lawson and William Oldham, the brilliant detective who quietly investigated the rogue cops for seven years, The Brotherhoods provides unparalleled access to the secretive workings of both the NYPD and organized crime-their hierarchies, rituals, and codes of conduct. Sprawling from Brooklyn to Las Vegas, this incredible story features wiseguys, informants, hit men on the lam, snitches, cops on the take, a crooked accountant, flamboyant defense attorneys, and many other colorful characters. Destined to rank with such modern crime classics as Serpico, Donnie Brasco, and Wiseguy, this quintessential American mob tale goes to the heart of two brotherhoods-the police and the mafia-and the two cops who belonged to both.

An interesting book, but alot was repeated. This book could have been half the length it was. I would still recomend it to others.

Crazy dull ending

I agree with a lot of the other reviewers: this book needed a solid editor. Some of the seemingly extraneous information is pertinent, but his telling of it is too roundabout, giving it the impression of being superfluous. He circles around a point for too long and it's easy to forget the point he was even trying to make. It's a decent story, but hits rather softly. This could have been a pared down, heavy-hitting story, but instead was bloated, turgid, and often boring.

Just Okay

Was a good book but should've been cut down. Repeats a lot and ends without full resolution.

Good but repetitive

A lot of material from years of 'individual' police work. A difficult topic with all sorts of ramifications handled quite well but with the obvious 'short-comings' of trying to deal with the complexities of criminal vs police vs criminal behaviours. (These can't be avoided, of course, because of the disparate interests of the parties involved.) The facts are enough to make most honest citizens shiver.

This book was a home run. Dick Hill knocked it out of the park. The only word that I found oddly pronounced was frequented. Hill stated "free-quinted" but small higgling on my part.

The best this old lawyer has read.

I found myself, interested so intrigued by these 2 cops. The Brotherhoods is great book ..my opinion, Mob Cops is better. Either way, ty too both authors I find myself listening to both books a number of times . 🇺🇸🇮🇹

excellent story

This is a great companion to "Gaspipe confessions of a mafia boss". The author of that book presents a skewed and too kind picture of Anthony Casso. "The Brotherhoods", gives a more accurate picture. The 2 main characters are horrible human beings,but the story is a great listen. I just wish the narrator would pronounce Casso's name correctly. Drove me nuts! Get it,you won't be dissapointed.

Fascinating

Good story, interesting to hear what the cops did and how they contributed to crime and partner with “bad guys”. I thought there were to many stories and characters that didn’t particularly connect. In the first half I found it Hard to keep up and couldn’t understand what some of the characters what they had to do with the story

Good overall
