Скачать или смотреть Roy DeMeo: The Man Even The Godfather Was Afraid Of

Before the world knew his name, there was a 'system.' A system where Harlem distributed and the Italians supplied. Every week, the money flowed one way: from Black hands to white hands. Until Nicky Barnes decided the arrangement was over.

In the 1970s, Pleasant Avenue was the center of the heroin universe. The Lucchese and Genovese families held a stranglehold on the supply, treating Harlem's kingpins as mere employees.

But Nicky Barnes wasn't looking for a job. He was looking for an empire. He didn't just want to negotiate; he wanted to replace the Mafia entirely with a structure they never saw coming: The Council.

This is the untold story of how seven men unified to break the Italian monopoly, built a $100 million drug machine, and eventually self-destructed after a single magazine cover caught the eye of the President.

Most history books focus on the violence, but they miss the institutional genius—and the ultimate betrayal—that changed organized crime forever.

A haunting look at power, independence, and the poison that funded a revolution.
