Operation Underworld is a story about eavesdroppers and spies, saboteurs and informants and the unlikely alliance between the Navy and the Mafia in World War 2.

Just when you thought you’ve heard every World War 2 story out there, author Matthew Black comes up with a new and very surprising one. Operation Underworld How the Mafia and U.S. Government Teamed Up to Win World War II is a fascinating read about a most unlikely group of real-life characters, who went to extraordinary lengths to accomplish a mission that had never been conceived before or attempted since. At the time, the world’s soul was at stake, and Allied victory was not a foregone conclusion. Everyone (on both sides of the law) rallied together to fight for our country and our way of life – it’s a lesson we could learn from today. 

Mr. Black describes his 2-year writing journey, including his interviews with the descendants of those involved, and the process of reviewing thousands of pages of archived testimony and declassified documents. Did you know Long Island was considered a vulnerable target? That Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano were part of the operation? All of this and more is covered in this entertaining podcast – a must-listen for any WW2 history buff or anyone who likes a fascinating story featuring a cast of larger-than-life characters.
