I read Iceman but started to feel that he had to be embellishing alot and probably just plain making some of the murders up. I think if you count up each individual murder he claims in the book it's well above 200. |

Donnie Brasco is required reading, imo.<br /><br />Right now I'm reading King of the Godfathers (about Joe Massino)- it's okay.<br /><br />Will be looking for other stuff shortly, perhaps on Pablo Escobar or the Russian mob.<br /><br />Not to mention, when we get back to school, my classes will be reading "Life in Prison" by Tookie Williams. |

The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano is an amazing book, highly recommended. I would say this is essential reading for anyone who wants to really understand the early days of the modern mafia and the key figures involved. |

A couple books that I really enjoyed, and could be considered similar to Donnie Brasco are: Befriend and Betray, Infiltrating the Hells Angels, Bandidos and other Criminal Brotherhoods. This book was written by Alex Caine a Canadian Author/ informant it is mostly about his rise in OC world and how his testimony led to the arrest of several bad dudes. Great read highly recommend. Gave this book to a friend and didn't get it back... bought it a second time. After reading above book I wanted more of the same so picked up... No Angel , My harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels. This book was written by Jay Dobyns an American ATF Special Agent. I think A an E did a special on this guy again Great Read. |

^^^ yeah I picked it up didn't enjoy it nearly as much. My memory is a little foggy but when Alex Cain saw the mob digging graves for him and the cop he was with an thy were deciding weather to run or not. Intense!
