Welcome to Season 3, Episode 17. In
this episode we continue focusing on the Tong Wars in New York by
discussing more of the people, events, and attitudes that escalated
tension between the On Leong Tong and the Hip Sing Tong… and we
finally talk about the First Tong War! Covering six bloody years,
the first Tong War was fought over the control of gambling in
Chinatown. We highly recommend the Scott Seligman book Tong Wars: The
Untold Story of Vice, Money and Murder in New York's
Chinatown. For previous episodes and information,
