About this listen

The incredible true story of the death of Jimmy Hoffa, the most famous hit in Mafia history. Now a major motion picture.

The Irishman is an epic saga of organised crime in postwar America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hit man who worked for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century.

Spanning decades, Sheeran's story chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and it offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.

Sheeran would rise to a position of such prominence that in a RICO suit against the Commission of La Cosa Nostra, the US government would name him as one of only two non-Italians in conspiracy with the Commission. Sheeran is listed alongside the likes of Anthony 'Tony Pro' Provenzano and Anthony 'Fat Tony' Salerno. In the course of nearly five years of recorded interviews, Sheeran confessed to Charles Brandt that he handled more than 25 hits for the mob, and Brandt turned Sheeran's story into a true crime classic.

This is the most gripping non fiction book I have listened to. An incredible well written story about a very interesting life.

I have never seen the movie so to listen to the book was the obvious choice first of at all it was brilliantly narrated,the story is amazing, the only fault I have was when going through certain characters they story jumped from one year to another then another character would come into the story and you would be back say 5 years this happens a few times and I found some bits difficult to keep up with in the main the story is a beauty and I did enjoy listened to it

A good listen

I watched the movie first and then downloaded the audio. Loved it. Getting the full background was fascinating. Hard to comprehend the scale of violence and criminality that went to the highest level of government too.

Wow what a story.
