On Episode 60, We delve into the story of the so called Banana War. A conflict that arose in the Bonanno crime family from 1965 until 1969, and would see the murders of at least 14 mobsters, as well as numerous unsuccessful attempts. It split the family into two factions, one led by the incumbent Joe Bonnano and his son Bill. And the other, led by a former top Capo in the Bonnano regime named Gaspare DiGregorio. Which would even see the larger New York City underworld be forced to pick sides in a battle to the death that had the potential to sway history in any number of directions. Most of all however, it's a story complete with mob politics, future heavyweights, and lots of violence.
