Handsome Johnny:The Life and Death of Johnny Rosselli: Gentleman Gangster, Hollywood Producer, CIA Assassin by Lee Server 544 pages
If you are a fan of gangster biographies, you will not be disappointed. This true story of the life of Handsome Johnny Rosselli tells the stories, names names - JFK, Sinatra, Joe Kennedy, Sr., mobsters all across the United States and goings on behind the scenes in other countries as well. The author reveals how Rosselli was recruited by the CIA to assassinate Castro. So many things come out and no one is shielded behind a veil, Lee Server puts it all out for everybody to see and read. This book is historical, and action packed as well as biographical. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It is like watching Good Fellas, Casino, the Godfather, every epic gangster/mob film you have ever experienced only with words painting the images in your mind. Great book. Fascinating Sopranos like view into the inner dealings behind what life as a made man is like. I highly recommend this book to anyone with interest into the workings of the likes of John Gotti types. Fascinating stuff here. And many reveals!
