Publisher's Summary
Mafia Prince is the first-person account of one of the most violent eras in Mafia history - "Little" Nicky Scarfo’s reign as boss of the Philly family in the 1980s - written by Scarfo’s underboss and nephew, "Crazy" Phil Leonetti.
The youngest-ever underboss at the age of 31, Leonetti was at the crux of the violent downfall of the traditional American Mafia in the 1980s when he infiltrated Atlantic City after gambling was legalized, and later turned state’s evidence against his own. His testimony directly led to the convictions of dozens of high-ranking made men including John Gotti, Vincent Gigante, and his own uncle, Nicky Scarfo - sparking the beginning of the end of La Cosa Nostra.
Just as The Godfather and Boardwalk Empire defined the early 20th century Mafia, and Wiseguy and Casino depicted the next great era through the ’70s, Mafia Prince concludes this epic genre revealing the Mafia’s violent final heyday of the 1980s straight from the horse’s mouth.

Amazing Story of Mafia Hitman Turned Informant
Every part kept me glued to the book. Wild story and brilliant narration. This one is for mob fans and non fans alike.
The overall feeling of the story portrays the Philly mafia family under the protagonist's uncle Nicky "Little Nicky" Scarfo as a death cult. In combination with the excellent narration, you really feel immersed in the story.
Highly recommended!

What an insight this book gives!
While the style fell into occassional repetetiveness, Perhaps this was purposeful to give it a journalistic story quality.
Most importantly this story resonated is an authentic description by a person who fell into a complicated and painful lifestyle, too young to understand what trap he had stepped into.
When someone is a made man, the very thing that made him so potentially traps him for life.
It is an insight into the complexity that is the mafia, that attracts people to an idea of honour, which is then subverted by individuals, leaders whose weak egos lead them to drown in their lust for power or just simply slide into sociopathy.
Its a pity this tight knit society ...army, can’t turn its skills to being a force for creating safe communities, rediscovering the ideal of honour on which it was founded long ago, when it served as protector of simple people, just freed from feudal control.
