There has been much ink spent by newsmen writing about the infamous Sonny Franzese through the later decades, but little is really known about what made Sonny Franzese, well Sonny Franzese!

This "expose" that I've painstakingly researched and written separates the myth away from the facts and quite possibly for the first time ever really provides Franzese's early history and his "grooming" into the Mafia and his subsequent rise to power. I reveal his true close associates, their underworld "deeds", and early trajectory up the underworld ladder, as opposed to just reading about a 70, 80 or 90 year old man who became a Cosa Nostra "legend".

Who was he really?? What made him the powerful force he became? and who were the men who stood shoulder to shoulder with him as he (and they) rose to power?

The story above tells the whole tale...the TRUE tale, of Sonny's life and underworld exploits!
