Guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 I've just fininshed reading an excellent book called "Tough Jews" By Rich Cohen, which as you may have guessed is about Jewish/American Gangsters in the 20th century. What with the make-up of New York at the time being mostly Irish, Jewish, Italian, Polish and Armenian, I was wondering if there are any accounts of Armenians involved in this sort of thing. It seems all the others did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
