John J. Binder on one of his many, many appearances on the gangster era documentary.

This one was for History Channel's Man, Moment and Machine.

If this website has anyone to thank for getting me into this hobby, and thus leading it to being what this site has become today, then the thanks should be given to two authors and historians. These two gentlemen peaked my curiosity about the gangster subject those many years ago, while watching the History Channel. One is Bill Helmer and the other is John J. Binder. Both had appeared on the St. Valentine's Day Massacre documentary that was fittingly narrated by Paul Sorvino. Both were very giving of their time and advice. Both historians were eager to help with documents and photos helping to tell the story. They took the time and were very patient to explain the Chicago gangster history.

Mr. Binder gave me some great advice at that time and because of this, I even had the chance of appearing on a documentary with him. Stick true to the topic, research and research again.

It's made me keep my site as accurate as possible, through the expertise of Mr. Binder along with all of the other combined historians, crimebuffs and authors out there.

Many thanks to all those who helped along the way.

Mr. Binder has always took the time to interchange in this hobby and has kept it fun all of these years for all the history crime buffs.

Mr. Binder has written quite a few articles on the Chicago mob past and present. His advice is always sought out whenever a new gangster book or documentary is in production.

He has written an excellent book called "The Chicago Outfit" with amazing treasure trove of rare Capone gangster era photos, and later interesting snaps of Chicago outfit members.

Mr. Binder has also an amazing collection of gangster photos past and present.

Book by Mr. John J. Binder.

The Chicago Outfit

by John Binder

Written by TheChicagoutfit.com's own John Binder. This is the book that all of our site users have been waiting for.

Book summary:

Containing approximately 20000 words and 180 photos, The Chicago Outfit is the only complete history of the Mob in Chicago -- from the late 1800s to the present. It includes a variety of new information on the subject, debunking a number of the myths that have arisen about organized crime in Chicago, and concludes with an evaluation of why the Outfit has been the most successful of the Cosa Nostra families and why it has declined since the 1950s.

Many of the photos are unique and are published here for the first time, including photos showing prominent Chicago gangsters at relaxation as well as mug shots, line-up pictures and death scenes.

If you would like an author signed copy, please send $23.00 ($20 cover price plus S+H for U. S. addresses -- S+H (airmail) is more for other countries) to:
