Mafia Prince is the first-person account of one of the most
violent eras in Mafia history —“Little” Nicky Scarfo’s reign
as boss of the Philly family in the 1980s—written by
Scarfo’s underboss and nephew, “Crazy” Phil Leonetti. The youngest-ever underboss at the age of 31, Leonetti was
at the crux of the violent downfall of the traditional
American Mafia in the 1980s when he infiltrated Atlantic
City after gambling was legalized, and later turned state’s
evidence against his own. His testimony directly led to the
convictions of dozens of high-ranking made men including
John Gotti, Vincent Gigante, and his own uncle, Nicky
Scarfo—sparking the beginning of the end of La Cosa Nostra. Just as The Godfather and Boardwalk Empire defined the early
20th century Mafia, and Wiseguy and Casino depicted the next
great era through the ’70s, Mafia Prince concludes this epic
genre revealing the Mafia’s violent final heyday of the
1980s— straight from the horse’s mouth.
