	Joe Adonis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joe Adonis (22 November 1902 - 26 November 1972) was an Italian mobster who became one of the most powerful figures in U.S. organized crime during the mid-20th century.
		Joe Adonis was born Giuseppe Antonio Doto in the small town of Montemarano, Italy, near Naples.
		Adonis controlled Brooklyn by 1932, and remained untouched through the U.S. government's crackdown on organized crime starting four years later; this was because he was a relative unknown to Uncle Sam.

		Joe Adonis (22 November, 1902 - 26 November, 1972) was an Italian-American mobster who became one of the most powerful figures in U.S. organized crime during the mid-20th century.

		In his absence, Adonis took over the chair of the Syndicate, and as such controlled all major organized criminal activity in America for the next decade.

	Origins of the Mafia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		The fragmented New York underworld had coalesced under the leadership of Giuseppe “Joe the Boss” Masseria, an old-fashioned crime boss who cloaked his various illegal enterprises under the guise of familial traditions of honor, respect, and oaths of loyalty.
		The younger bosses, notably Joe Profaci, Thomas Lucchese, and Joseph Bonanno bitterly resented that the older bosses, cloaking themselves in outmoded and irrelevant European customs, should be telling them what to do.
		Thus, the Young Turk faction aligned itself to Brooklyn boss Salvatore Maranzano, himself a “Mustache Pete,” who aspired to become the “Boss of Bosses.” Maranzano was born in Castellammarese de Golfo in Sicily, and the war he initiated against the Neapolitan Masseria in 1928, came to be known as the Castellammarese War.

		New York's underworld in the 1920's was run by Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria, one of the original members of the New York Mafia.
		It can be argued that Masseria definitely had the better talent on his side, but Maranzano was younger and smarter than Masseria and knew what it would take to win the war, he had to do two things: first win over Luciano who was Masseria's number one man; second would be to kill Masseria.
		Not soon after, on April 15, 1931, Joe the Boss Masseria was executed in a Coney Island restaurant by four gunmen (Vito Genovese, Joe Adonis, Albert Anastasia and Bugsy Siegel).
