The book behind the Oscar and BAFTA nominated Netflix movie, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and Harvey Keitel.
The story of "The Irishman" is an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America, told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked for the legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino, alongside some of the most recognizable figures of the 20th century. Sheeran’s story spans decades and chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of the legendary union leader, Jimmy Hoffa.
It offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: the inner workings, rivalries, and connections to mainstream politics. Sheeran would rise to a position of significant importance, so much so that in a RICO lawsuit against the La Cosa Nostra Commission, the US government named him as one of only two non-Italians involved in conspiracy with the Commission. Sheeran is mentioned alongside names like 'Tony Pro' Provenzano and 'Fat Tony' Salerno.
During nearly five years of recorded interviews, Sheeran revealed to Charles Brandt that he had carried out more than twenty-five hits for the Mafia, and Brandt turned Sheeran's story into a gripping true crime novel.
