Publisher's Synopsis
A large part of Goines' 39 years of life was spent being a successful pimp, an operator of liquor houses, an armed robber and a small time drug dealer. He lived the life of the streets and out of that experience he created Prince, the anti-hero of 'Black Gangster'. It's the story of the shocking underworld of black organised crime and the fledgling black 'godfather' who goes from teenage ganglord to powerful mobster. Like the gangsters of the 1920s, he begins with bootlegging and branches out into every crime imaginable.
