Bill Bonanno
Bill Bonanno was born into a world of respect, tradition, and honor. The son of legendary Mafioso Joseph Bonanno, Bill was a "made" member of the Mafia by the time he was in his early 20s. Now retired, Bill is one of the few to provide an eyewitness account of his life as a high-ranking captain in the Bonanno crime family.

His book, Bound by Honor, not only recounts Bonanno’s tumultuous life, but also is an engrossing chronicle of organized crime. He is also the co-author of the novel The Good Guys, written with Joe Pistone.

Book Cover The Good Guys
by Bill Bonanno and Joe Pistone with David Fisher

Former mob chief Bill Bonanno and former undercover FBI agent Joe Pistone, a.k.a. Donnie Brasco, who infiltrated the Mafia's Bonanno family in the 1970s, combine their unique experiences to deliver an unprecedented crime thriller.

This novel represents the extraordinary insights of two men who lived their lives in the Mafia - either as a member of a key crime family, or as a cop who infiltrated them. Their unusual perspective gives The Good Guys a real, gritty feel, and infuses the novel with chilling true-to-life details and a real insider's perspective.

Book Cover Bound By Honor
by Bill Bonanno

"People in my world don't usually write autobiographies. Or if they do, they are usually in the witness protection program. I'm not in anyone's program, but my own. I've spent many years in prison, had federal, state, and local authorities down on me, had writs, judgments, verdicts, and offers of 'leniency' directed at me. And, in my world, I've been the target of assassins and have been at the storm center of one of the most turbulent periods in modern gangland history but here I am, like Ishmael, come back to tell you about it."
- from Bound By Honor

Bill Bonanno takes you inside the mob at its peak, when New York's Five Families -- Bonanno, Gambino, Colombo, Lucchese and Genovese -- not only dominated local businesses but also controlled national politics.
