I agree that "A Man of Honor" was very interesting. It also contains the best extant description of the Castellemmarese War of 1930-31, and of the workings of the Commission (which, as Olivant pointed out, was the basis of Rudy Giuliani's successful "Commission" RICO case that put several Dons away for life). That said, take everything Bonanno wrote about himself with a ton of salt, especially his being "against drugs."


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
