LamontCranston A cited inspiration for Mark Lombardi
LamontCranston Peter Brewton recommends it in the introduction, and Stephen Pizzo provides a blurb on the back cover.
LamontCranston In a lot of ways The Mafia, CIA, and George Bush continues the tale of CIA banking where Crimes of Patriots ended. And Kwitny helped Brewton with his book.
