Governors Go National

The Democratic and Republican Governors Associations and the Nationalization of American Party Politics

By: Anthony Sparacino

This book examines the Democratic and Republican Governors Associations from their creation in the 1960s through the 2020 elections. The author argues that the creation of these partisan organizations marked an important moment in the nationalization of American party politics. Governors created these Associations along with party elites in Washington because they recognized that decisions being made in Washington increasingly affected decision-making in the states. Governors sought to contribute to the development of national partisan electoral strategies and policy programs through these organizations to benefit their own electoral fortunes and the standing of the national parties to which they belonged. Through organization building, governors of both parties contributed to the development of more nationally focused and programmatic parties despite being state-level elected officials.

The Deadly Don

Vito Genovese, Mafia Boss

By: Anthony M. DeStefano

Pulizter Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano’s latest in-depth history of organized crime exposes the truth behind the mafia crew that took down John Gotti. THE BOSS OF BOSSES Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano exposes the rise and fall of Vito Genovese in this first comprehensive biography of the legendary mafioso—from his childhood in Naples, Italy, and the beginnings of his bullet-ridden criminal career on lower Manhattan’s mean streets, through his self-exile in the mid-1930s back to his homeland where he ran a black market operation under the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, and his return to New York where Genovese made a fortune as the head of an illegal narcotics empire. As a member of Giuseppe “Joe the Boss” Masseria’s gang in New York City, Genovese ran rackets before joining forces with Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel as bootleggers during Prohibition. He helped orchestrate Masseria’s slaughter on behalf of Brooklyn crime lord Salvatore Maranzano, consolidating his position and power before ensuring Maranzano, too, was knocked off. For the next three decades, Vito Genovese—shrewd, merciless, and utterly savage—killed countless gangsters in his bid to become the capo di tutti i capi—boss of bosses—in the American Mafia. Don Vito would betray some of the mafia’s most notorious bosses, including Albert Anastasia and Frank Costello, to eventually seize control of the Luciano crime family, one that still bears the Genovese name today. Praise for Anthony M. DeStefano’s Gotti’s Boys “DeStefano explores John Gotti’s rise to the head of the Gambino family . . . Aficionados are sure to relish the finer, exhaustively researched details.” —Publishers Weekly “A thrilling ride . . . DeStefano has written another excellent biography of a memorable group of gangsters and an excellent addition to the history of the Teflon Don.” —Booklist

The Name Tree

By: Anthony Wood

He had to lose his daughter to save her. And himself. Naomi was gone. Her death, sudden and unexpected, shattered those who loved her. No one could understand why. A year into grieving, Naomi’s father faces a hard truth—he had a role in her passing. In his heart, he knows Naomi wasn’t of this world. She didn’t know her true identity, and he failed to guide her. But it’s not too late. He believes there’s one way to make amends. To truly help her now, he must do the unimaginable—pass through the thin veil between life and death to where Naomi resides. On the other side, he’ll face his darkest fears, confront his mistakes, and battle the demons that have haunted him. Only by emerging from the depths of his soul can he become the father Naomi needed. Together, they’ll embark on a harrowing journey through the unseen—facing impossible challenges and confronting her false identity—all in the hope of freeing her spirit. This is a war for Naomi’s soul, a battle beyond the grave for a future she was meant to have. But will her father have the strength to see it through? A poignant and powerful story of redemption, love, and the relentless pursuit of hope, this journey begins—and ends—at The Name Tree.
