Wiseguy
- Wise Guys Life in a Mafia Family by Nicholas Pileggi
Nicholas Pileggiâ‚¬s vivid, unvarnished, journalistic chronicle of the life of Henry Hillâ‚¬"the working-class Brooklyn kid who knew from age twelve that â‚¬Å“to be a wiseguy was to own the world,â‚¬Â who grew up to live the highs and lows of the mafia gangsterâ‚¬s lifeâ‚¬"has been hailed as â‚¬Å“the best book ever written on organized crimeâ‚¬Â (Cosmopolitan).

This is the true-crime bestseller that was the basis for Martin Scorseseâ‚¬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 Fedsâ‚¬Â¦with Henry Hillâ‚¬s crackling narration drawn straight out of Wiseguy and overseeing all the unforgettable action.

Read it and experience the secret life inside the mobâ‚¬"from one whoâ‚¬s lived it.
