 | WITSEC by Gerald Shur, Pete Earley When the government was losing the war on organized crime in the early 1960s, Gerald Shur, a young attorney in the Justice Department?s Organized Crime and Racketeering Section, urged the department to entice mobsters into breaking their code of silence with promises of protection and relocation. But as high-ranking mob figures came into the program, Shur discovered that keeping his witnesses alive in the face of death threats involved more than eradicating old identities and creating new ones. It also meant cutting off families from their pasts and giving new identities to wives and children, as well as to mob girlfriends and mistresses. A powerful true story of the inner workings of one of the most effective and controversial weapons in the war against organized crime and the inner workings of organized crime itself--and more recently against Colombian drug dealers, outlaw motorcycle gang members, white-collar con men, and international terrorists--this book takes us into a tense, dangerous twilight world carefully hidden in plain sight: where the family living next door might not be who they say they are. . .
