'Lucky Luciano' reviewed in BBC History Magazine:'Using a range of official sources and dissecting some of the dubious memoirs of mobsters, including that of Luciano himself, Tim Newark provides what is, probably, the most balanced biography of a man who often claimed to be a victim, but had little thought for his own victims.'Reviewed 'Our Friends Beneath the Sands' for the Financial Timeshttp:/
