Resumen del Editor
One of the biggest scores in Mafia history, the Lufthansa Airlines heist of 1978 has become the stuff of Mafia legend - and a decades-long investigation that continues to this day. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Anthony DeStefano sheds new light on this legendary unsolved case using recent evidence from the 2015 trial of 80-year-old Mafia don Vincent Asaro, who for the first time speaks out on his role in the fateful Lufthansa heist. This blistering you-are-there account takes you behind the headlines and inside the ranks of America's infamous crime families - with never-before-told stories, late-breaking news, and bombshell revelations.
An invaluable addition to any crime library, this is the most complete, thorough, and up-to-date account of the Lufthansa heist currently available. Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony DeStefano draws from his years of experience reporting on the mob for New York Newsday - as well as his firsthand coverage of the Asaro indictment and attendance at the trial - to expose the all-too-human heart of organized crime in America. The Big Heist is thrilling, shocking, and impossible to pause.

As a cop, Ron Previte was corrupt. As a mobster, he was brutal. And in his final role, as a confidential informant to the FBI, Previte was deadly. The Last Gangster is his story—the story of the last days of the Philadelphia Mob, and of the clash of generations that brought it down once and for all. Convinced that the honor of the "business" was gone, he became the FBI's secret weapon in an intense and highly personalized war on the Philadelphia mob, operating with the same guile, wit, and stone-cold bravado that had made him a force in the underworld.

Historia
By the mid 1980s, the criminal underworld in the United States had become an ethnic polyglot; one of the most powerful illicit organizations was none other than the Cuban mob. Known on both sides of the law as "the Corporation", the Cuban mob's power stemmed from a criminal culture embedded in south Florida's exile community - those who had been chased from the island by Castro's revolution and planned to overthrow the Marxist dictator and reclaim their nation.

Author Ron Chepesiuk chronicles the little known history of organized crime in Harlem.
African American organized crime has had as significant an impact on its constituent community as Italian, Jewish, and Irish organized crime has had on theirs. Gangsters are every bit as colorful, intriguing, and powerful as Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, and have a fascinating history in gambling, prostitution, and drug dealing. In the late 1800s, Harlem became a highly fashionable neighborhood.

In Race Against Time, Mitchell takes listeners on the twisting, pulse-racing road that led to the reopening of four of the most infamous killings from the days of the Civil Rights Movement, decades after the fact. His work played a central role in bringing killers to justice for the assassination of Medgar Evers, the firebombing of Vernon Dahmer, the 16th Street Church bombing in Birmingham, and the Mississippi Burning case. Mitchell reveals how he unearthed secret documents and found long-lost suspects and witnesses, building up evidence strong enough to take on the Klan.

October 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Volstead Act, which put the enforcement teeth into Prohibition. But the law didn't stop George Remus from cornering the boozy, illegal liquor marketplace and amassing a fortune that eclipsed $200 million (the equivalent of $4.75 billion today). As eminent documentarian Ken Burns proclaimed, "Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil." Author Bob Batchelor has unearthed a treasure trove of untapped historical archives to cover the life, times, and crimes of the man who ran the largest bootlegging operation in America.

Secretive - even reclusive - Russell Bufalino quietly built his organized crime empire in the decades between Prohibition and the Carter presidency. His reach extended far beyond the coal country of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and quaint Amish farms near Lancaster. Bufalino had a hand in global, national, and local politics of the largest American cities, many of its major industries, and controlled the powerful Teamsters Union. His influence also reached the highest levels of Pennsylvania government and halls of Congress, and his legacy left a culture of corruption that continues to this day.

Joe Barboza knew that there were two requirements for getting inducted into the Mafia. You had to be Sicilian. And you had to commit a contract killing. The New Bedford-born mobster was a proud Portuguese, not Sicilian, but his dream to be part of La Cosa Nostra proved so strong that he thought he could create a loophole. Barboza’s legacy, buried for years thanks to the murders or deaths of its participants, is finally coming to light and being told in its unvarnished brutality by one of America’s most respected true crime writers.

But at a time when the Mob was crawling with secret operatives and informants caving to government pressure to flip, Basciano obeyed the code of La Cosa Nostra.

It’s not “The Henry Hill Story"
A.K.A.
"The Lufthansa Heist"
It’s not a rehash of “GoodFellas”.
It ~IS~ a compelling in-depth (compendium comes to mind) look at ~ALL~ the characters in the crime that had jaws dropping all over the U.S. in Dec of 1978.
I was 18, trying to get “off the farm” in small town Oklahoma and recall the speculative conversation, from mild to wild that set in when the news broke. It brings us to the current (recent events) related to the prosecutions of people who weren’t even named in previous telling.
I’ve lost count of how many times I have watched “GoodFellas” along with “The Big Heist” and “The $10,000,000 Get Away” and look forward to watching these movies again with a broader schooling.
The fact it was in the Plus list at no cost, was a bonus. I would have gladly paid for the listen.

really good
this book is a great sequel to the movie Goodfellas. When I was listening to this book it reminded me a lot of the 1991 film and it overlaps very nicely with The Sopranos TV show and the many movies made about John Gotti. the author really teaches you a lot about the Lufthansa Heist the Lucchese and the Bonanno family's involvement in that larceny. And it really exposes how Lacks airport security was and Powell most irresponsible the airlines were in managing the air freight that they were responsible for. this is a really well researched book and the author does deserve respect and I'm interested to hear or read his next book

A great journey into the world of the underworld, Trudy.
Amazing research went into writing this book if you’re a fan of reading books about the mafia you’re gonna love this one. Well at times it’s overage from the main topic, it’s still entertaining all the way through. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A Lot of info!
The story of the Lufthansa heist has been of interest to me since I started reading mobster books. Then Goodfellas came out.
The writer does a great job of tying the real life guys to the characters in the movie.
Entertaining listen for sure especially if you like mob history, this one ties into many books I have read about the time period. I didn't learn much, but it was good.
If you can watch Goodfellas or The Irishman over and over like I can, it's worth it.
Performance never felt awkward or annoying.
5 stars all the way.
