Summary of Michael Franzese's Mafia Democracy
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1975, the Mafia had influence over almost every corner of American society. The five families in New York City, the hub of organized crime worldwide, operated with grim efficiency. #2 The Mafia, like any profitable organization, was focused on growing profits, eliminating competition, and dodging taxes or any other constraints that might stand in their way. They were so successful because they followed a cynical credo: they should appear to be merciful, humane, and well-meaning, but when the need arose or their power was threatened, they must be ready to take the way of evil. #3 The Mafia, like many other organizations, had a credo that members should respect others’ property and women. I was proposed for membership when I was 21 years old, and within a few years, I had made more money for the Mob than anyone since Al Capone. #4 The Mob had a mythology about itself in those days. People romanticized it. The public saw the Mafia as a modern-day version of Robin Hood and his band of merry men, stealing from the king and sharing the wealth with the common man.
Sonny
“Couldn’t put it down.” —Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy (Goodfellas) and Casino The extraordinary life and times of a legendary crime boss who refused to squeal—but who finally agreed to talk to an award-winning New York Newsday reporter shortly before his death at age 103 . . . John “Sonny” Franzese reportedly committed his first murder at the age of fourteen. As a “made man” for the Colombo crime family, he operated out of his Long Island home specializing in racketeering, fraud, loansharking, and other illicit deeds he would deny to his dying day. His career in organized crime spanned over eight decades—and he was sentenced to fifty years in prison for robbery cha...

Mafia Democracy
It is necessary for a prince wishing to hold his own to know how to do wrong, and to make use of it or not according to necessity. -Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince Greed. Lies. Corruption. These are the foundational elements of the American Mafia story. Here, the pursuit of power overshadows even the desire for a dollar, and self-interest outweighs the greater good. It's a world that's foreign to the average American-or is it? The values of our democracy and those of Mafia culture are separated by a thin line that's quickly disintegrating. No one sees this more clearly than former mob boss Michael Franzese. Born into one of New York's most feared crime families, Michael spent eight years in...
Hollywood Godfather
Hollywood Godfather is Gianni Russo's over-the-top memoir of a real-life mobster-turned-actor who helped make The Godfather a reality, and his story of life on the edge between danger and glamour. Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny—played by James Caan—up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act—he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to acting as a messenger for New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello during the Ke...
