The Making of the Mob: New York

Jun 11, 2015

Luciano, Lansky, Siegel, Genovese, Costello—the infamous names conjure up an era when bootlegging, racketeering and violence ruled New York City.

But how did these men rise from poor childhoods to crime empires? “The Making of the Mob: New York,” AMC’s first-ever docudrama, answers that question in eight gripping episodes featuring notable interviews, historical footage and dramatic reenactments. Join executive producer Stephen David; Meyer Lansky II, grandson of the notorious boss; mob historian Selwyn Raab; and Bronx-born Oscar® nominee Chazz Palminteri for a journey to the underworld origins of the American Mafia and a first look at “The Making of the Mob: New York.”
