Cold War examines the rise and escalation of organized crime across Canada. Jerry Langton traces how the Hells Angels and the Rizzuto family secured supply networks and alliances with street gangs, shaping a national underworld economy.

The book maps shifting loyalties—from Indigenous and street gangs to outlaw motorcycle clubs—and introduces lesser-known players such as the Cotroni family, the Musitanos, the Outlaws, the Bandidos and the Rock Machine. It follows turf battles, narcotics trafficking and the consequences when violence reaches civilians.

Combining historical context with investigative reporting, Cold War offers a clear, chronological look at rivalries, enforcement responses and the broader social impact of Canada’s organized-crime conflicts.
