5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and vivid
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020

Compelling account of the life of Carlos Marcello, head of the Mafia in New Orleans, whose territory included Dallas. It makes a convincing case that Marcello was one of the drivers of the JFK assassination. Very vividly written and scrupulously researched, it’s a shame it’s out of print. Probably the best book I’ve read on the assassination.

Members of the Warren Commission failed to adequately investigate the murder of a president by not issuing a supoena to the FBI director to hand over all information they had on their own investigation. J. E. Hoover acted criminally for withholding evidence and for lying to the American people. When the evidence is unsealed in 2025, America will discover that there was a massive conspiracy by the mob and the CIA to kill the president with the FBI director complicit. It is amazing to me that our beloved media allowed this to happen without any investigative curiosity.
Knowing all of this, the press continues to allow Lousianna Democrats to be corrupted by organized crime. Just after this book was published, Governor Edwards gave video gaming distribution rights to a group of former associates of Carlos Marcello who siphoned over $140 million off the top, plead guilty a year later, and only had to serve 2 years in prison for their misdeeds. Later, Edwards accepted a bribe of $100,000 from the DiBartola family for a riverboat cassino license in New Orleans. The press never did anything but make Edwards look like a hero, the same way they treated Huey Long. Since the press is 99% liberal, it is no wonder. They seem to only investigate Republicans. Attention press, next time we get attacked by a terroist, please don't give me that lone wolf nut business again.

'Mafia Kingfish' by John Davis is a thoroughly investigated and researched book that will compel any reader to seriously consider (if not believe) a legitimate conspiracy against President Kennedy (and Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.). The House Select Committee on Assassinations ruled in 1978 that President Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. 'Mafia Kingfish' and 'Conspiracy' by Anthony Summers are two essential books I encourage anyone to read regarding the conspiracy and assassination of President Kennedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really great book.
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2013

As usual John H. Davis has out done himself in writing a great book. His research is fantastic, his knowledge on the Mafia subject astounding. This book is a real eye opener. He dwells on Marcello to such an extent that you actually feel like a part of a commission investing this crime boss, or a jury member hearing evidence against Carlos Marcello. Davis gives much history without being dull. He knows his subject thoroughly. And this knowledge comes glowing through. As I have said before a real eye opener and a book that gets you to think.

Carlos Marcello was the right hand man for the Masons that killed JFK. Guy Banister was extremist Mason allied with Allan Dulles, J Edgar Hoover, Clint Murchision, Curtis LeMay, Lyman Lemnitzer that all hated Catholic JFK and wanted him dead and replaced with Masonic Puppet LBJ.

Jack Ruby worked for Carlos Marcello and owned him lots of money, and Ruby was also a LBJ connected man.

Carlos Marcello's dirty deed were protected by the extremist Masons that infiltrated US Govt. since the times of Lincoln.

This book is a great story about Carlos Marcello and his rise to power. The problem lies in the fact that it's a story.There are no references, no citing. And the author consistently refers to Santos Trafficante! What happened? Is he Portugese all of a sudden? THE NAME IS SANTO TRAFFICANTE! I can only give it three stars
