After nearly forty years of silence, Dr. Bill Galbreth, finally tells his personal story of his coincidental repeated involvement with the Boston mafia and the torture they inflicted upon him in the mid-1970's. Dr. Galbreth lays out, in striking clarity, the underbelly and human nature of the American mob. More than thirty years ago, Bill Galbreth, then, a soon-to-be graduate of Tufts Dental School, extern at the local prison, and the first - and, at that time, the only - certified forensic dentist in the US, was abducted, tortured, and hired by the 1970's Boston mob in their attempt to falsify evidence on major murders which would bring down a criminal network. A searing novel of the personal side of the east coast mafia underworld, Mark of the Mob introduces readers to the powerful legacy of criminal masterminds, the nature of the tactics they used, and shows a very personal side to criminal psychology. Galbreth shares the details on the criminal mastermind, the gruesome torture he endured upon abduction and the oucome of the the forensic dental examination. With themes of the multi-faceted faces of fear, the desire to take care of one's own, and the dangerously slippery slope of a dishonest life, it will resonate with millions of readers across the world—and become one of the few mafia books told by someone who was only involved by virtue of the alignment of several circumstances; neither by virtue of criminal involvement nor an investigative career. A definitive volume of the human nature to be prone to fear, this book gives a first person account of the fearsome and fearfully enacted violence that permeated mob subculture; an underground world that, running on fear, remains mired in intrigue, complicated relationships, controversy, and the collective consciousness.

FASCINATING TRUE STORY By Mikala Rated Galbreth's tale of living the daily reminder of the Irish Mobs mark upon him (from sternum to abdomen) and the "favor" requested circumstances of a high-ranking mob member. An emotional journey of consequences suffered by each man's actions and the past that was. Excellent true crime tale of Dr. Galbreth's life and how he came into his present day being with hopes of erasing an incredibly emotional scar. Highly recommend!

By Broc G This book will keep you on the edge of your seat from the moment you pick it up. Very quick and easy read ! I was easily and willingly able to read this book in 48hrs. It really captures real life events that took place in Boston during the mid 1970's. The book ABSOLUTELY captures the mobish theme the author was going for, but also backs it up with true SCARING life events that makes the book that much more dramatic. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone that has a brain. Well worth the money, time and review. Thank you Dr. Galbreth for this masterpiece!!!
2 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Cautiounary Tale of the Dangers of Self-Publishing: Spell Check is Your Friend By Reader The Mark of the Mob is quite possibly the worst book I've ever read. Never mind the overwhelming and distracting number of typos, formatting, grammatical mistakes, constant and random switching of verb tenses, and just plain wrong word choices. Galbreth did not even take the time to make sure the story works chronologically. At some point, I continued reading out of a morbid curiosity to see how much worse it could get. It would be bad as a work of fiction, but the sheer fact that he is selling this as a true story is laughable.He inconsistently applies accents to his characters that periodically and mysteriously disappear and then reappear. They are written so poorly that they seem almost racist. I am fairly certain he has never heard an Irish accent to get it that wrong. Early in the story, and in what can only be described as a poorly written Christmas Carol flashback, he states that his 6 year old main character was born on January 2, 1934. TWO LINES LATER, he says that this memory was from 1930. Assuming it was actually 1940 (making the character 6 years old), he is then in the 5th grade in 1950, but later describes being in high school in 1947. He goes to work for the mob in 1974, but is then engaged in mob activity a few pages later in 1972.There are also major factual and cultural inconsistencies. He states that the nurse administered his anesthesia for his surgery. An anesthesiologist would have needed to do this. His character's wife gives birth sometime in the 50s or 60s and he is in the room. This just wasn't done then. The fathers were in the waiting room. His character aspires for his wife and daughter to go to college and for his daughter to be an athlete, but that was not common and even if they did go to college, it would have been for the equivalent of a degree in homemaking. His character's wife announces to him that "we're pregnant." That unfortunate word choice didn't enter our American lexicon until the 21st century. His Irish immigrant character calls his father "Pop," when that vernacular was not used at that time. He would have been called "Da." He states that his characters paid $3.50 a ticket for MLB games for bleacher seats at a time when bleacher seats would have cost around $0.75. His multiple six year old characters speak like they are 15. A character commits a federal crime, but is sent to a state prison. Galbreth states that the mobster was like a surrogate father to him and that he loved his family, but he only meets him a few times in a professional capacity. There is never a personal relationship between the two, but he claims familial loyalty. There is no way he could have known enough about the main character after a couple dental visits to write 80% of the book about him.This book leaves the reader with the impression that this is a first draft of a story written by a middle school creative writing student. In a world where anyone can be published, self-proclaimed authors should, at the very least, ask a friend to proof read for spelling errors and typos.
