About this product

Product Information

Now in paperback, here's the first nonfiction work from Joe Pistone since his New York Times #1 bestseller and hit movie, Donnie Brasco . Perhaps no man alive knows the lifestyle of wiseguys better than Pistone does, having spent six years infiltrating the Mafia as an undercover FBI agent. Now, years later, Pistone reassesses the underworld. Often poignant, and in startling detail, THE WAY OF THE WISEGUY gives readers a first-hand look at the psychology and customs of the wiseguy. The book features 34 chapters that reveal key principles of wiseguy life, including "How Wiseguys Carry Out a Hit," "How Wiseguys Get Straightened Out," and "A Typical Day in the Life of a Wiseguy." Pistone's spellbinding stories provide a first-hand look at this lawless realm of badguys, which is often uncannily relevant to the workings of legitimate big business and everyday social discourse.

The Way of the Wiseguy dissects the mobster lifestyle... Some of it is simply hilarious. The rest is simply chilling.

    Not nearly as good as Donnie Brasco

    This book is terrible and don't waste your money. It is not really even a book, so much as it reads like a dictionary. This was a horrible follow up to the original classic "Donnie Brasco", which was a good read.The CD that came with it is not worth it either. The tapes of Donnie (FBI Agent Pistone) talking with Lefty Guns are hard to listen to. My advice,buy the Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso book instead or the Mob Cops story about those two mob-connected "officers" from Brooklyn who are now in prison.
