On May 5, 1981, three rebellious members of New York's Bonanno crime family were gunned down in a Brooklyn social club. One of the gunmen was Vito Rizzuto, a man who would rise to the top of the underworld in Canada and then expand his reign across continents to become a global superboss. The Sixth Family, now revised and updated, reveals the hidden history of the rise of the Rizzuto clan, the alliances it forged around the world, and the bloody events that led to charges against Vito Rizzuto in the United States and Italy for racketeering and corruption.

Excellent in depth of Vito Rizzuto

I have read / listened to upwards of 100 mafia related books. However, I only knew of the Canada faction from passages of books on the New York families. It was a nice change and very interesting tale of one of the top bosses of his generation. Usually the narrator doesn't really matter in these kind of books. They aren't doing voices and they aren't trying to create a movie around the narration. Still, Danny Campbell was tough to get used to. This is a really long book so eventually his voice doesn't grate at you so much, but it takes a while.

The Irishman is an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th Century. Spanning decades, Sheeran’s story chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries, and connections to mainstream politics.

Amazing
Revisado: 03-25-20
I have read / listened to hundreds of mafia genre books. This is one of the best. Based on what I already knew of Hoffa, Gallo and a few other things, I believe that this book is factual. He was already dying, he had no reason to lie. He was not doing it for ego or money. And too many other things check out. Of course there is no way to know for sure, but everything else adds up. Though I agree with Frank, the book name was horrible. If it had a different name, I 100% would have bought the book when it came out. Most likely I skipped over it due to the name. Thankfully Netflix made the movie and it led me to the book. The narrator really never matters in this genre. Scott Brick is excellent, but a strange choice.

This is the true crime best seller that was the basis for Martin Scorsese’s film masterpiece GoodFellas, which brought to life the violence, the excess, the families, the wives and girlfriends, the drugs, the payoffs, the paybacks, the jail time, and the Feds...with Henry Hill’s crackling narration drawn straight out of Wiseguy and overseeing all the unforgettable action.

I read the book back in 1985. The movie was amazing. I recently picked up the book because I wanted to go through it again. I even forgot a few things that it reminded me of. Amazing book, Amazing movie, just great.
