It's pretty shit having The Godfather at number one, it really isn't a particularly good book. Also surprising that there's not even a nod towards Dashiell Hammett, whose dialogue essentially defined the gangster genre in popular culture.

...look no further than the 3 volume set entitled "Bloodletters and Bad Men" which details the lives of every murdering scoundrel imaginable...

I know it's a list for fiction, but if you want a top notch 'true crime' book about gangsters, I can't recommend John Dickie's, 'Cosa Nostra: A History of the Sicilian Mafia', highly enough.
