"Friendships connections family ties trust loyalty obedience-this was the glue that held us together." These were the principles that the greatest Mafia "Boss if Bosses " Joseph Bonnano lived by. Born in Castellammare del Golfo Sicily Bonnano found his future amid the whiskey-running riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924 when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams. By the age of only twenty-six Bonnano became a Don. He would eventually take over the New York underworld igniting the "Castellammarese War " one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City... Now in this candid and stunning memoir Joe Bonanno-likely a model for Don Corleone in the blockbuster movie The Godfather-takes readers inside the world of the real Mafia. He reveals the inner workings of New Yorks Five Families-Bonanno Gambino Profaci Lucchese and Genovese-and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses but also influenced national politics. A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime A Man of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in Americas history.
