Straight from East New York, the dark heart of Brooklyn, RUMBLE IN BROOKLYN depicts the street fighting childhood of Joseph Trigoboff, who knew and exchanged blows with several of the murderous gangsters who would later become famous in WISEGUY and GOODFELLAS.

In some critical ways RUMBLE serves as a prequal to these other works but it is also a book about the importance of family life to cushion the horrors of a a deadly neighborhood and the enduring power of childhood friendships.
