"No one in America knows more about organized crime than Michael Franzese. He lived it. He paid the price for it. He’s the real deal."

This is not a book about my political views. This is not a partisan attempt to get people to go along with my politics or ideology. I’m not trying to get you to change political parties. I spotlight the behavior of both Democrats and Republicans and show you how similar it is to how Mafia bosses act.
I want this book to serve as a wake-up call and help American citizens see what is really going on in the hallowed halls
of Washington, DC.
I want to alert people to the fact that our
government is getting out of control and operating more like
the Mafia than the representative government our founding
fathers envisioned. And I want you to understand that it’s dangerous. I know how the Mafia operates. I was born into it. I've lived it. It can be corrupt, vicious, and controlling. You don’t
want that in your government.
Michael Franzese is a former Caporegime with the Colombo
crime family of New York City. In 1986, Vanity Fair named him one of the biggest money earners the Mob had seen since Al Capone. At the age of thirty-five, Fortune magazine listed him as number eighteen on its list of the “Fifty Most Wealthy and Powerful Mafia Bosses,” just five places behind John Gotti.
At his peak, Michael earned millions in cash every week
with brilliant scams on the edge of the legitimate business
world. He was involved in several industries, including auto
dealerships, construction, financial services, and the sports and entertainment business. After successfully defending himself from multiple indictments, Franzese pled guilty to racketeering charges, accepted a ten-year prison sentence, and publicly walked away from the Mob. He is the only high-ranking official of a major crime family to ever walk away without protective custody and survive.
Michael credits his wife, Camille, with his religious conversion. He is in great demand as a public speaker, sharing his life, experiences, and inspiring messages with church groups, professional and student athletes, and corporate executives across the country.
