Book Dedication

I have a copy of Brotherhood of Evil: The Mafia, by Frederic Sondern Jr., with a handwritten dedication to Gil Flues by none other than Harry J. Anslinger, commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and architect of what was to become the War on Drugs. Fascinating. Just found this memorial on your site and had been puzzling over who Gil Flues was in the dedication. Makes complete sense now. Thanks.
