WHOLESALE MY WARS: NAZIS, MOBSTERS, GAMBLING & CORRUPTION

This book chronicles the crusade of Louisiana Superintendent of State Police, Francis Carroll Grevemberg, against gambling and vice in Louisiana from 1952 to 1955. Slot machines and casino devices were illegal in Louisiana at the time and often operated by the mafia and other criminal elements and were contraband under Louisiana law. Threats against Colonel Grevemberg and his family are reflected in never before published documents obtained from the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act. The book details a raid in which Colonel Grevemberg found a list of hundreds of New Orleans Police officers with their name, rank and specific amounts of weekly payoffs as bribes to refuse to enforce gambling and vice laws. The book inclues an affadavit signed by Grevemberg before W. Thomas Angers confirming that eyewitness troopers, present at the shooting of Huey Long, informed Grevemberg that Carl Weiss was not armed. Info on Carlos Marcello, Frank Costello, Mayor Morrison, and Estes Kefauver.
