The enthralling story of Henry Hill's life as a gangster and
notorious participation in the Witness Protection Programme, made
into the hugely acclaimed Martin Scorsese film
_________________________ 'Absolutely engrossing' - New York Times
'The best book ever written on organised crime' - Cosmopolitan 'A
riveting account of organised crime as a way of life ...
extraordinary' - Publishers Weekly _________________________ 'At
the age of twelve my ambition was to be a gangster. To me being a
wiseguy was better than being president of the United States. To be
a wiseguy was to own the world.' GoodFellas is Henry Hill's own
story, telling the fascinating and sometimes brutal details of the
day-to-day life of a working New York mobster - the violence, wild
spending sprees, his wife, his mistress, his code of honour. From
the small-time scamming of his early years, his first arrest at the
age of sixteen and initiation into the dealings of his wiseguy
friends and bosses, Henry Hill tells of the good times, dodgy
dealings, indulgences, and the insularity of the mob-controlled
neighbourhoods. But things start to go too far. To save his own
life, Hill turns into a Federal witness, and the mob is to this day
still hunting him down for revealing their involvement in hundreds
of crimes including arson, extortion, hijacking, the six-million
dollar Lufthansa heist (the most successful cash robbery in US
history), and murder.
