Yes, to hear Bonanno tell it he was the only leader of honor and dignity while almost everyone else was just interested in making money or dealing drugs, activities he simply didn't take part in.. clap

And he was shocked, shocked that Anastasia, his pal, was murdered while Bonanno took a trip out of town. whistle

If I remember correctly Bonanno writes the whole book with nary a mention of his lunatic capo/underboss Lilo Galante, who was very big into drug importation/dealing.

The book is entertaining but as mentioned it must be read with both eyes open for Bonanno's tendency to obfuscate, exaggerate and lie...


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
