Praise for The Sinatra Club
“Fascinating…. In addition to an exhilarating trip though Italian-American Mafia history, Polisi’s text doubles as a heartfelt memoir, wherein he candidly expounds on the pain of neglecting his family and the devastating losses that eventually impelled him to leave “The Life” behind and testify against his former colleagues.”
“Mafia memoirs are well-trod ground, but Polisi’s personal focus will engage readers…. like Henry Hill, the famous subject of the genre classic Wiseguy, he has a sort of disreputably-likable quality about him. For fans of inside-organized-crime books, this one’s a definite must-read.”
“Brassy…. Evocative…. An audacious memoir unveiling the machinations of the mob.”
