Bummy
Davis vs. Murder, Inc.: The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Mafia and an Ill-Fated
Prizefighter
by Ron Ross
Book Description: A tough kid with a heart of gold, Al "Bummy" Davis
grew up in the streets of Brownsville, New York on the fringes of the Jewish
mob during the 20's and 30's-thanks to his older brother, a feared racketeer.
But as much as he resisted the underworld of Murder, Inc. by becoming a
championship fighter and a Brownsville hero, he never did escape the Jewish
Mob's shadow. Though he repeatedly stood up to mob kingpins, Bummy suffered
a spectacular fall from grace as a result of a smear campaign by the press.
Ron Ross' Bummy Davis vs. Murder, Inc. is not just about one Jewish
boxer, his meteoric rise to fame, and victimization by the press. Bummy's
life was intertwined with the Great Depression, the survival of the Brooklyn
Jewish immigrant population during Prohibition, and the inevitable offshoot
of Prohibition-Murder Inc., one of American history's most notorious band
of killers. Ron Ross portrays an important historical time period, an enigmatic
Jewish subculture, and the surprising juxtaposition of a generation of
Jews and their talent for boxing.
Bummy Davis vs. Murder, Inc. features a cast of colorful villains whom
you'll love to hate, a boxing legend who was the unwitting pawn of fate,
and the human drama of the boxing world. With his vivid, street-smart Damon
Runyonesque writing style, Ron Ross redeems a tragic hero who fought the
pull of one of the most brutal groups of killers to grace the twentieth
century.
