Summary: Garbage
Review: I would not buy this book even if it was for free. Who in their right mind would support a law enforcment officer, let alone, a POLICE CHIEF who was involved in these activities. Besides, I believe NOTHING Corbitt has got to say. Yeah... I read this book via the library. He was very brief about the Diane Masters murder. Wanna know why? Because there is no statute of limitations on murder. Corbitt states he would never kill and stated he only dumped the Cadillac. Oh sure. But read this book carefully prior to this murder and he is involved in murders, shovels, etc and all. I think he's full of it and "if" the military and government were SO involved, what makes one think this book would come out let alone the fact that he is still alive!??! I think a few things in the book were true but he should of disclosed all the facts. Why didn't he? Because he'd be shipped back to prison, which is were he belongs. God bless Dianne Masters...

Summary: Kind of old news
Review: The story Corbitt has to tell of rampant corruption and Mafia influence in the Chicago (and vicinity) police force in the 1960's and 1970's is interesting but it's kind of old news by now. His personal involvement as a "law enforcement officer" (if you can call him that with a straight face) is what differentiates this book from others of this type. The problem with this book is that Corbitt seems to have an enormous ego and obviously thinks very highly of himself. He was obviously one very sleazy guy if all he writes is true but who can really believe him? I didn't much care for his style of writing and his story might have been more compelling in the hands of more gifted writers.

Summary: Sleazy Loser Tries to Cash In
Review: They might have a great sense of humor, or love their mother or support various charities, but in the end, most are cold-blooded murderers. That descripion only fits the top mob bosses. Scummier still are the average hoodlums that make up a crime organization and that's where Michael Corbitt fits in. A street thug ends up making a few friends that help buy a corrupt gas station business. Next thing that happens is that he joins a corrup police force in Illinois and when the drunken chief retires, he is made chief. Eventually, the law and his fellow sleazebags catch up with Corbitt so here comes his book. Sure, the book is interesting, but Corbitt was never a main man. He was just a very small player in a much larger organization. What's shocking is that he was able to so as a top police official in Illinois, but given some history in that state, how surprising is it? To summarize the book, you will find that Corbitt has killed people, he helped cover up a murder, he was involved in all kinds of other corrupt illegal activity, he stole millions from the taxpayers of his community. Somehow I'm supposed to feel sorry for this scumbag or have sympathy for him?

Summary: Great book....
Review: This was a great read. I live right in Chicago, near Oak Park, so this was especially of interest to me. Iam not sure if its all true or not, but if it is, it makes a lot of sense. This book offers lots of explanations, i.e. Marilyn Monroe, Kennedy assasination,etc. and once you read them, they really make you think.
