Anthony ' Gaspipe' Casso former head of the Lucchese family is currently serving 13 life sentences at a federal prison in Colorado. Now he has given bestselling author Philip Carlo the most intimate look into the world of La Cosa Nostra ever seen. Casso concocted ingenious schemes to hijack trucks rob banks & traffic vast quantities of marijuana & heroin
- shattering the myth that the Mafia didn't handle drugs. He also worked with the other Mafia families & forged strong ties with the Russian mob. He was bringing in so much cash that he had dozens of large safety-deposit boxes filled with bricks of hundred-dollar bills. But there was tragedy too & it ate away at the seemingly bulletproof Casso who loved his family but ultimately questioned his choices in life. The law finally caught up with him in his New Jersey safe house in 1993 & rather than stoically face the music like the old-time mafiosi he revered Casso became the thing he hated
- a rat. Detailing Casso's feud with John Gotti the ' Windows Case' that led to the beginning of the end for the mob in New York & Casso's dealings with the NYPD Mafia cops Gaspipe is a chilling & illuminating roller-coaster ride into a netherworld few outsiders have ever dared to enter.

Nearly 2 500 years ago in 480BC at a bleak pass in a far-flung corner of eastern Greece three hundred Spartan warriors faced the army of Xerxes of Persia a massive force rumoured to be over a million strong. Their orders were simple: to delay the enemy for as long as possible while the main Greek armies mobilized. For six days the Spartans held the invaders at bay. In the final hours

In Gates of Fire Steven Pressfield tells the epic story of those legendary Spartans: the men & women who helped shaped our history & have themselves become as immortal as their gods.
