When FBI Special Agent Joe Pistone began a six-month" operation
infiltrating New York's Bonanno crime family in 1975, he had no
idea what was about to happen. Posing as jewel thief Donnie
Brasco," Pistone spent the next six years undercover in the Family,
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 alleged crimes were held back. Now, in Donnie
Brasco: Unfinished Business , Pistone for the first time reveals
with great detail the horrific deeds of wiseguys Tony Mirra, Lefty"
Ruggiero, Sonny Black, and the rest of the cold-blooded Bonanno
crew. Pistone puts the operation into historical perspective,
detailing the timeline of Mafia trials that crippled the New York
City crime family over the past 25 years. He also recounts his
experiences after the operation, his time on the Hollywood set with
Pacino and Depp, and other undercover operations through
present-day. A tense, thrilling account of the greatest
infiltration ever by a federal agent into the most brutal gang of
killers in the world, Donnie Brasco: Unfinished Business is the
final chapter in the story of a real American hero.
