“The Incorruptibles: A True Story of Kingpins, Crime Busters, and the Birth of the American Underworld” is a New York Times Recommended Book! In the early 1900s, New York City’s Lower East Side was rife with vice and corruption, with Eastern European Jewish crime syndicates dominating the crowded ghetto. Affluent German-Jewish uptowners, fearing for the future of Jewish Americans amid rising anti-immigration sentiment, formed an off-the-books vice squad known as the Incorruptibles. They fought crime at its core, inadvertently giving rise to a new mobster class that exploited reform efforts to gain power. In his latest book, Dan Slater unveils a brutal saga of crime and redemption, revealing a buried history that shaped modern society.
