Dmitry GOBLIN Puchkov categorically recommends!
Henry Hill was a gangster. He was a swindler. He laid traps, wove intrigues, and cracked heads in. He knew how to bribe and knew how to swindle a sucker. He worked for the mafia full-time as a racketeer and a demolition man. He was a rara avis—the rare bird that both social anthropologists and cops would gladly study. On the streets he and his friends called themselves “smart guys.” It seems to me that his story offers a unique look from the inside at the life of an infantryman of organized crime—usually described either by outsiders or by capo di tutti capi, the mafia bosses.
