The Last Testament of Bill Bonanno: The Final Secrets of a Life in the Mafia

The final, tell-all memoir from the legendary mafia consigliere and son of infamous crime boss Joe Bonnano.

Born into a powerful mob family, Salvatore “Bill” Bonanno was privy to a criminal underworld that wielded immense power in America for decades—a world ruled by loyalty, secrecy, and survival at any cost: the Mafia.

The son of Joe Bonanno—the Godfather-like head of one of the original five New York Crime Families—Bill Bonanno came of age at the height of Mafia power. In this fascinating final testament, he ushers readers into that cloistered world, from its origins in medieval Sicilian and Italian history to its rise, tumultuous peak, and precipitous fall in America.

Complete with rare unpublished photographs of candid moments, major players, rituals, and ceremonies, The Last Testament of Bill Bonanno is the ultimate insider’s final word on one of the most secretive and misunderstood phenomena of our time.
