Description
Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia In 1978, the US government launched a major operation against organised crime. One man was left behind the lines, living undercover with the Mafia for five years. Joseph Pistone, working under the alias Donnie Brasco, immersed himself in the world of the wiseguys, forming close relationships and becoming embroiled in their activities. Pistone's time undercover was marked by intense periods of immersion, punctuated by rare visits to his young family. He became so deeply entrenched that he was even asked to officiate at a Mafia wedding. His eventual testimony had a significant impact on the prosecution of organised crime cases, resulting in over 200 indictments and 100 convictions. This book is a gripping account of Pistone's experiences as an undercover agent, offering a unique insight into the world of the Mafia and the men who ran it.
