"At the age of twelve, my ambition was to become a gangster. To be a wiseguy was better than being President of the United States. To be a wiseguy was to own the world." --Henry Hill When Henry Hill entered the Witness Protection Program, he was certain that his criminal days had finally come to an end. He was wrong. For over twenty years, Henry Hill lived the high life as a powerful member of the Lucchese crime family, a life immortalized in Martin Scorsese's classic film GoodFellas. After his arrest in 1980, Hill disappeared into the Witness Protection Program. With this book, Henry comes clean about his last twenty years, filling in the gaps about his recent past as well as setting the record straight on his days as a wiseguy. At once hilarious, unpredictable, scandalous, and arresting, Henry Hill's tale will destroy everything you thought you knew about the Witness Protection Program.

Whether you're a nostalgic member of the post-WWII generation or a digital native wondering what all the "Sixties" talk is about, you will find something to put a smile on your face as Gus Russo takes you on a personal cinematic ride through the turbulent 1960s, 1970s, and beyond. Emerging from the funky blue-collar Baltimore that gave rise to Edgar Allan Poe, H.L. Mencken, Frank Zappa, and John Waters, Russo nurtured an endless curiosity and joie de vivre by inserting himself ala "Zelig" (or is it "Forrest Gump"?) into the worlds of a stunning array of American icons- from music, to tennis, to politics, to filmmaking. However, he didn't do so as a "fan," but as a modern-day Siddhartha, trying to work with, and most importantly learn from the best. He made music with them, played tennis with them, and got pepper-sprayed at rallies with them. Through his eyes we view the civil rights movement, the JFK assassination, the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations, the golden ages of tennis and music, and the rise of the counterculture. Like the late raconteur Jean Shepherd, Russo universalizes his growing-up experience as he follows his bliss during one of the most exciting times to be young in America. Boomer Days will make older readers misty-eyed and younger ones infinitely more informed about this transformational period in American history.
