Gangsters and Goodfellas by Henry Hill

Gangsters and Goodfellas by Henry Hill

"At the age of twelve, my ambition was to become a gangster. To be a wiseguy was better than being President of the United States. To be a wiseguy was to own the world." --Henry Hill

When Henry Hill entered the Witness Protection Program, he was certain that his criminal days had finally come to an end. He was wrong.

For over twenty years, Henry Hill lived the high life as a powerful member of the Lucchese crime family, a life immortalized in Martin Scorsese's classic film GoodFellas. After his arrest in 1980, Hill disappeared into the Witness Protection Program. With this book, Henry comes clean about his last twenty years, filling in the gaps about his recent past as well as setting the record straight on his days as a wiseguy. At once hilarious, unpredictable, scandalous, and arresting, Henry Hill's tale will destroy everything you thought you knew about the Witness Protection Program.

In 1980, the late Henry Hill joined the Federal Witness Protection Program, where he helped the government establish cases against 46 prominent Mafia affiliates. He co-wrote Wiseguy with author Nicholas Pileggi, which became a New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a film by Martin Scorsese. Hill lectured high school students across the country until his death in 2012, warning them not to follow in his footsteps.
