He reveals the inner workings of New York\'s Five Families-Bonanno, Gambino, Profaci, Lucchese, and Genovese-and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses, but also influenced national politics.
Now, in this candid and stunning memoir, Joe Bonanno-likely a model for Don Corleone in the blockbuster movie The Godfather-takes readers inside the world of the real Mafia.
He would eventually take over the New York underworld, igniting the Castellammarese War, one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City...
By the age of only twenty-six, Bonnano became a Don.
Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Bonnano found his future amid the whiskey-running, riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924, when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams.

Friendships, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty, obedience-this was the \'glue\' that held us together.
