"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.
The inside story-from the organizer himself--of the largest
unrecovered cash haul in history. This full account brings readers
behind the heist memorialized in Goodfellas, a crime that has
baffled law enforcement for decades. From Henry Hill himself, The
Lufthansa Heist is the last book he worked on before his 2012
death. On December 11, 1978, a daring armed robbery rocked Kennedy
Airport, resulting in the largest unrecovered cash haul in world
history, totaling six million dollars. The perpetrators were never
apprehended and thirteen people connected to the crime were
murdered in homicides that, like the crime itself, remain unsolved
to this day. The burglary has fascinated the public for years,
dominating headlines around the globe due to the story's unending
ravel of mysteries that baffled the authorities.One of the
organizers of the sensational burglary, Henry Hill, who passed away
in 2012, in collaboration with Daniel Simone, has penned an
unprecedented "tell-all" about the robbery with
never-before-unveiled details, particulars only known to an
insider. In 2013, this infamous criminal act again flared up in the
national news when five reputed gangsters were charged in
connection to the robbery. This latest twist lends the project an
extraordinary sense of timing, and the legal proceedings of the
newly arrested suspects will unfold over the next year, continuing
to keep the Lufthansa topic in the news.
