Bill Bonanno was born into the mob. His father was Joseph Bonanno, leader of the Bonanno Crime Family. Bill followed in his father's footsteps as a leader in the family and also as a writer of a memoir. He seems pretty candid about his life and his life in organized crime, though I am doubtful some of the things he said are the entire truth. However, it was an interesting personal account of life inside the semi secretive organized crime syndicate.
