About this product

Product Information

"At the age of twelve my ambition was to become a gangster. To be a wiseguy. Being a wiseguy was better than being President of the United States. To be a wiseguy was to own the world." -- Henry HillWiseguyis Nicholas Pileggi's remarkable bestseller, the most intimate account ever printed of life inside the deadly high-stakes world of what some people call the Mafia.Wiseguyis Henry Hill's story, in fascinating, brutal detail, the never-before-revealed day-to-day life of a working mobster -- his violence, his wild spending sprees, his wife, his mistresses, his code of honor.Henry Hill knows where a lot of bodies are buried, and he turned Federal witness to save his own life. The mob is still hunting him for what he reveals inWiseguy: hundreds of crimes including arson, extortion, hijacking, and the $6 million Lufthansa heist, the biggest successful cash robbery in U.S. history, which led to ten murders. A firsthand account of the secret world of the mob,Wiseguyis more compelling than any novel.

I happen to rank "GOODFELLAS" as one of my all time favorite movies and this is the book it was inspired from.

  • Not the book shown.

    While I did get Wiseguy, it was the movie tie in, not the book shown. It's nitpicky and im happy with the purchase, but I don't like the wrong thing shown.
