John Alite Mafia International: Gotti Enforcer for the Gambino Crime Family

Jailed at 17, John Alite was already a mobster. He spent his life on the streets of Woodhaven, NY (nicknamed Death Haven) murdering, robbing, and beating people living the "high life"~ fast cars, fancy clothes and jewelry, boats, having more money than God, and mostly, he thought, respect. After being ratted out to save their own skin, while he was at the same time incarcerated in one of the world's worst prisons, the Ary Franco Prison in Brazil, he realized the "oath of silence" the mafia took meant nothing, and he said, "Enough." Realizing there is no way out of that life, except by being murdered, being sentenced to life in prison, or committing suicide, he stepped up, admitted his wrongdoings and now on his own accord, speaks to troubled youths about avoiding a life of crime. In MAFIA INTERNATIONAL, John describes in harrowing detail what his dangerous life was like and how he grew a world-wide, illegal empire. Poignant moments where he discusses losing friends who were murdered takes us into the parts of the mafia the movies leave out. John is adamant about not glorifying the life, but also knows there is a fascination with the stories, so he tells them, but donates a portion of the proceeds from sales from his website to youth organizations.
