"Unfinished Business is a better read than most crime novels simply because it's true." Sunday Business Post"
Product Description
This compelling book is the final chapter in the true story of Donnie Brasco. This is a new and complete account of the famous Donnie Brasco operation - immortalized in the bestselling book and film starring Johnny Depp and AI Pacino - in which FBI Special Agent Joe Pistone infiltrated the Bonanno crime family in New York City for six years, and helped convict of 200 mafia 'wise guys'. "Unfinished Business: The Complete Donnie Brasco Story" puts the operation into historic perspective, dealing with what happened after the operation ended, and reliving events of the operation with far greater (and gorier) detail than was possible in the first book due to the recent declassification of information. He also recounts his experiences after the operation, his time on the Hollywood set with Pacino and Depp, and other undercover operations to the present day.A tense, thrilling account of the greatest infiltration ever by a federal agent into the most brutal gang of killers in the world, Donnie Brasco: "Unfinished Business" is the final chapter in the story of an American hero.

Format:Hardcover
This is a readable book which goes into some detail about things not covered in the original work. It also shows just what courage and dedicaiton Joe Pistone had in working undercover in describing some events he did not include in the original work. The book goes on to give an insiders account of the trials he was a witness for (and plenty for which he was not) and discusses some of the tactices the FBI used to ensure convictions. It also covers what became of him in his career after he was revealed to be an agent (and the FBI does not smell of roses here). In all an interesting read, though at times it is a little difficult to follow as he writes extensivly about every major mafia trial from the early 1980's onwards and sometimes it is difficult to follow who he is talking about and what the connection is to Donnie Brasco. The guy remains a hero who helped break the mafia and for that alone it is worth reading, though I would recommend re-reading the first book before this one.

This book follows on from Donnie Brasco story by Joe Pistone. It even mentions who killed Sonny Black towards the end.
This is an excellent read and I've read it 3 times. If you want an excellent story however look for 'The Good Guy's by Bill Bonanno AND Joe Pistone. This was amazing and it's even better on audio book. So too is Bound By Honor by Bill Bonanno.
I hope Pistone will put some other audio books together in the near future.
Pistone and Bonanno's biggest fan

I am pleased that I ordered Unfinished Business as it provides more detail and incisive commentary on the Donnie Brasco operation. Joseph D. Pistone aka Donnie Brasco is a true American hero and reading his story is inspiring and illuminating. Well done Joe!
