<b>The true story of how Sal Polisi - a member of a New York crime family and author of <i>The Sinatra Club</i> - turned his back on the mob and spoke out against organized crime, is now available in paperback.</b><br><br>As a wiseguy for some of New York's biggest crime families, &quot;Crazy Sal&quot; Polisi couldn't imagine another way of life. Until the day he was busted and faced life behind bars. Then he decided it was time to talk - not so much for himself, but for the sake of his two teenaged sons.<br><br>But Polisi discovered a chilling truth - no one squeals on the mob. Forced to assume a new identity moving from town to town in the middle of the night, his sons chose to stand by their father. In exchange for federal protection, Polisi took a huge gamble - he decided to testify against John Gotti, the reputed head of New York's powerful Gambino family. As packed with shocking insider details as Nicholas Pileggi's <i>Wiseguy </i>and as gripping as <i>The Godfather</i> - only true - Sal Polisi's story marks his captivating transformation from ruthless criminal to devoted father and crusader against organized crime.
