Retired agent Frank Storey reviews the FBI's investigation of the five New York Mafia families in the early to mid-1980s. Frank implemented the RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations), a new investigative strategy, and directed agents to use undercover infiltration and electronic surveillance in the fight against organized crime. Their efforts resulted in the indictment of the five mob bosses and their underlings, shutting down the Mafia's control of the labor unions in New York. Frank is the author of The FBI's War Against the Mafia: How a Band of FBI Game Changers Defeated the Mob. He served in the FBI for 30 years.
