"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster."

Henry Hill had always been a part of the criminal life of New York, finally achieving the coveted status of 'wiseguy.' But in 1980 he made the descision to exchange his knowledge for a new identity.

Hill's story of crude hierarchies, casual murders and collaboration with the police was adapted for the screen by Martin Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi—and became one of the most outstanding films of 1990.

This book also offers an introduction by David Thompson, the noted film critic and co-editor of Scorsese on Scorsese.
