About the Author:

Chuck Giancana, who passed away in 2001, was the brother of the late crime boss, Sam “Momo” Giancana.

From AudioFile:

The cottage industry of Kennedy assassination theorists shows no sign of abating, as shown by this story of the much publicized revelations of Chuck Giancana, brother to Chicago Mafia Don Sam Giancana. Jerry Orbach's tough, full-voiced reading works perfectly to narrate the rise of a two-bit hood to someone who could push the button on J.F.K. and Marilyn Monroe. The story's denouement is unconvincing, but the tapes are entertaining throughout. The latter part of the story seems to rush by, perhaps indicating the lack of support for Giancana's claims. After hearing this abridgment, the listener is confident that the complete book holds no "explosive" secrets. M.J.C. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
