"When FBI Special Agent Joe Pistone took on a six-month operation infiltrating New York's Bonanno crime family in 1976, he had no idea what was about to transpire. Posing as jewel thief Donnie Brasco, Pistone spent the next six years under deep cover as a trusted Mafia associate, witnessing - and sometimes participating in - the Mafia's gruesome activities while gathering enough evidence to send over 200 gangsters to jail. Pistone told his story in the 1988 book Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia - a New York Times bestseller and later a feature film starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. But because of pending trials at the time of publication, many details of the then-alleged crimes were omitted. Now, in Donnie Brasco: Unfinished Business, Pistone revisits the operation with a vengeance, offering for the first time chilling eyewitness accounts of the brutality carried out by gangsters such as Sonny Black Napolitano, Lefty Guns Ruggiero, Tony Mirra, and the rest of the Bonanno crew. But that's only half the story. Pistone also puts the operation into historical perspective, detailing the timeline of convictions - from the Bonanno Family trial, the Mafia Commission trial, the Pizza Connection case, and more - that crippled the Mafia from the top down. More than the so-called tipping point, Agent Pistone's heroic efforts proved to be the wrecking ball that triggered the demolition of La Cosa Nostra in America. From the downfall of the Mafia Commission to the rise of reckless new bosses like John Gotti and Gaspipe Casso, Pistone analyzes the bloody civil wars that defined the Mafia from 1981 through 2006 when "The Last Don" Big Joey Massino was finally convicted for the 1981 murder of Sonny Black Napolitano - the first Mafia casualty of the Donnie Brasco Operation. Pistone also recounts his life after the operation, his time on the film set with Pacino and Depp, and his other undercover work through present day. A tense, thrilling account of the greatest infiltration by a federal agent into the most brutal gang of killers in the world - and everything that happened afterward - Donnie Brasco: Unfinished Business is the final chapter in the story of a real American Hero." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
