Paperback. Condition: Good. Frankie Saggio reminisces about the era of true wise guys like his Uncle Philly -- a contemporary of Al Capone. After all, it was Frankie's uncle who "taught him the value of a dollar and how to steal it from someone else." Uncle Philly was from a day when being in a mafia family meant being bound by blood and honor, not like modern day families whose only concern is money. For Frankie, the only way to avoid the modern mob treachery is to avoid getting involved with any single mob family, working "freelance" for all five. Frankie can do this because he is one of the biggest earners in the business, pulling down millions and kicking a share upstairs to the bosses. Though he fights the decision, Frankie is tied by blood to the Bonanno family, Uncle Philly's family, and current home to Philly's murderer. Soon after joining the Bonannos, Frankie narrowly escapes an assassination attempt and is busted for a major scam. With little choice, and even less loyalty to the Bonannos, Frankie turns himself over to the Feds on the one condition that he will tell the feds everything, but will not squeal on his own relatives.…

Includes Author Dedication; Preface; Prologue; Afterword; Glossary; Appendix I; Appendix II and Appendix III. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographs. "At eighteen, with a brutal stretch in an upstate New York prison behind him, Frankie Saggio graduated from violent street-crime - sticking up drug dealers and stealing cars with his best-man-to-be Mike Hollywood, son of a police detective - to more lucrative white-collar jobs: Frankie details the takeover and bankrupting of a string of Wall Street brokerage houses, a pornography protection racket, mob forays into film production, and the scam for which Frankie was finally busted, the selling of fake pay telephone routes. As one of the biggest earners in the mob, Frankie worked for each of New York's big five families, refusing to pledge his allegiance to any single organization. But Frankie's status in mob limbo could only last so long and against his wishes he was drafted into the Bonanno family - responsible for the murder of his beloved uncle and role model, Philly "Lucky." The friction between Frankie and his new family culminates in a failed assassination attempt that pushes Frankie into the arms of federal prosecutors. Born to the Mob gives a picture of the day-to-day life of modern organized crime by one who lived it at the highest level. Today, with a new identity created by the Witness Security Program, Frankie continues to testify against his former colleagues, most of whom are dead or in jail." - from the rear outer cover.
