With
former Daily News reporter Gene Mustain,
I have co-authored three true crime books about the Mafia. GOTTI: Rise
and Fall is about the most famous -- and infamous -- mobster since Al Capone.
Published in June, 1996, it's in bookstores across the U.S. and Canada. You can also get
it online from Amazon.com,
the Godfather of online booksellers. GOTTI: Rise and Fall is the culmination of a decade's
worth of reporting and writing that we have done about John Gotti since we first met him
in 1985, two years before he was acquitted of federal racketeering charges and became a
folk hero to some and a nightmare to the forces of law and order. Along the way, Gotti
threatened to punch us out and told us that he'd like to kick us in the ass. He also gave
us a 40 minute interview at the start of his last trial. That case resulted in a sentence
of life -- and death -- in prison, but not the beating he took on
July 18, 1996 in a prison exercise yard at Marion Federal Penitentiary. GOTTI: Rise and
Fall tells much more about John Gotti's rise to the top of organized crime and his
subsequent fall. Our book was the basis for GOTTI, an HBO movie that premiered on Home Box
Office on August 17, 1997 to 3.8 million viewers.
