Inside is his first published book: Inside by Scott M. Hoffman reads like a movie It is an intriguing work detailing the internal workings of the Outfit, an organized crime family, which originated on the South Side of Chicago during prohibition and rose to power in the 1920s.The Outfit has been involved in a wide variety of criminal activities including gambling, loan-sharking, prostitution, drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, labor racketeering, adult and child pornography, political corruption, and murder. The individuals and events in Inside are composites of real people and real events. “I saw a lot of things in my younger life, the type that most people only experience when watching a movie or reading a book,” says Hoffman. “The world that I come from and was raised in was so unusual, and even to this day, not all of the stories have been told nor the facts revealed on some of the biggest moments in mob history. I am here to set the record straight and to share what it was really like to be immersed into moments of life and death, where who you trusted could cost you your life, and what you say could be your final words.”The Douglas Coleman Show now offers audio and video promotional packages for music artists as well as video promotional packages for authors.Please see our website for complete details.http://douglascolemanshow.comIf you have a comment about this episode or any other, please click the link below.https://ratethispodcast.com/douglascolemanshow Please help us to continue to bring you quality content by showing your support for our show.https://fundrazr.com/e2CLX2?ref=ab_eCTqb8
