Autobiography
Book Cover Hunting the Jackal: A CIA Ground Soldier's Fifty-Year Career Hunting America's Enemies
by Billy Waugh with Tim Keown

Spanning more than five decades, here is a riveting true account of fighting America's enemies around the world - told by the soldier/operative who was there.

Billy Waugh does not consider himself a hero - even though he has lurked in the shadows and on the periphery on many of the most significant events of the past half-century on active duty with the U.S. Army Special Forces and the CIA, fighting enemies of the United States. In Hunting the Jackal, this legendary warrior reveals the extraordinary events of his life and career, offering a point-by-point eyewitness account of the historical events in which he participated.

Serving in Korea and Vietnam, Waugh was among the first Green Berets in 1963. He has helped train Libyan commandos in the Sahara Desert, while spying on Russian missile sites in Benghazi, and he worked against Carribean drug runners. He was the first CIA operative to watch Osama Bin Laden in Khartoum, and in 1994 he captured the notorious Carlos the Jackal in Sudan - a story that until now has never been told.

Book Cover A Man of Honor
by Joseph Bonanno

"Friendships, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty, obedience -- this was the 'glue' that held us together."

These were the principles that the greatest Mafia "Boss of Bosses" Joseph Bonanno lived by. Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Bonanno found his future amid the whiskey-running, riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924, when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams. By the age of only 26, Bonanno became a Don. He would eventually take over the New York underworld, igniting the "Castellamarese War", one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City.

Now, in this candid and stunning memoir, Joe Bonanno takes readers inside the world of the real Mafia. He reveals the inner workings of New York's Five Families -- Bonanno, Gambino, Profaci, Lucchese and Genovese -- and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses but also influenced national politics. A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime, A Man Of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in American history.

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.

Book Cover No Lights, No Sirens: The Corruption and Redemption of an Inner City Cop
by Robert Cea

A no-holds-barred tale of an inner city cop's relentless journey into the criminal netherworld.

No Lights, No Sirens is a dark sojourn into the soul of an urban cop. Robert Cea began his career as an idealistic young officer, a true believer. But the system for which he would tirelessly risk everything ultimately led to his ruin. Brutally authentic, as gritty and graphic as the life itself, his memoir takes readers into the cruisers and onto the streets to show how the law was -- and continues to be -- routinely bent just to stay one step ahead of the criminals. Cea reveals his slow downward spiral into the depths of hell and back, and illuminates a hidden side of detective work in New York's most crime-riddled neighborhoods as never before. Going beyond standard tell-all biographies, this eye-opening, thoroughly authentic personal story is as gripping as it is terrifying. Sure to make headlines, it is a morality tale with repercussions for us all.

Robert Cea retired in his early 30s as the fifth most decorated police officer in the history of the NYPD. Film rights to his life story have been sold to the producers of Donnie Brasco.
