Gangster and Goodfellas is a great read. Reads almost as well as Wiseguy. Turnbulls right, Hill's a good story teller.

If I remember correctly though, Hill does admit that his evidence on Tommy's hit by Gotti came from another informer, Sal Polici, a Gambino guy after Goodfellas was filmed. So yes definately take the story, like Turnbull says, with a ton of salt.

His other revelations are just as good though claiming Michele Sindona, God's banker, wasn't just taking money from the pizza connection but was actually involved in the smuggling of drugs to the USA with his diplomatic immunity. True or not I don't know but the theory is interesting.

The feeling I've got from reading the book is he's just name dropping for sales and interest - Nameth, Gotti, Sindona etc.


So die all who betray Giuliano
