Twenty-five mob leaders in their own (wiretapped) words! BOOK NUMBER: 1188795. DESIGNED BY: Nina D'Amario/Levavi & Levavi. COVER PHOTOGRAPH BY: Wide World Photos. COVER DESIGN: Lawrence Ratzkin. CONTENTS: Introduction; Planting Bugs; Angelo Ruggiero; The Commission; Gennaro Angiulo, Boston; The Pizza Connection; The Joseph Gallo Trial; Nick Scarfo and the Philadelphia Mob. SYNOPSIS: Wiretap exposes the world of organized crime and the Mob's inner workings in a selection of the secret tapings, wiretaps and video surveillance actually used to indict and convict some of America's most notorious mobsters. These conversations are by turns fascinating, blackly humorous, chilling, venal, and shocking. Strategies, threats, vendettas, pranks, warnings, and felicitations are the stuff of secret discussions never before overheard by the general public. Wiretap profiles 25 alleged American Mafia figures from all five families, each in a chapter prefaced by a short introduction and revealing visual evidence. Constructed by the journalist who broke so many newsmaking Mob stories in the seventies and eighties, this startling overview also includes an FBI agent's account of his many death-defying break-ins and phone tappings as he worked to expose Mob leaders. Reminiscent of Nicholas Pileggi's Wiseguy, Jim Goode's keyhole look at organized crime is tough and raw, at shiveringly close quarters. James Goode is an author (The Story of the Misfits) and has been the executive editor, editor, or publisher of Playboy, Penthouse, Oui, Viva, Playgirl, Earth, Show, Platinum, and four other magazines. He is a firm believer in narrative documentary and nonfiction and photojournalism.
