Double Cross
The Story of the Mobster Who Controlled America
Summary and Analysis
From Chuck Giancana & Sam Giancana
by Summary Station
This beautifully written book isn’t merely a tale of a mobster’s life; it reveals the pain of a notorious person’s family. Also, Double Cross is a tale of the love and compassion a younger brother has for his older, successful, but ruthless sibling. At times I was reminded of the opening of A Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.” After all, Mooney Giancano’s rule of the Outfit, the Chicago mob, was a financial dream come true for Mooney and those upon whom he liked, whether they were mistresses or brothers. Socially, however, Mooney’s rule eventually devastated various members of the Giancano family.
