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.

Soon to be a major motion picture
An excellent and fascinating exposè on organised crime. The Hoffa story was riveting. Connections to a certain event in Dallas in 1963 were mindblowing. I can't wait for the Scorsese film.

Brilliant
A well written book that is so informative and takes you to every place of action. I now have a better understanding of how and why things work in the other lifestyle! The JFK is very interesting as is the death of Jimmy Hoffa! You should read this!

Fantastic
Well narated. This story is sensational but you come away at the end believing it all. It's quite credible and paints an amazing picture of the life of Frank Shearan and the death of Jimmy Hoffa (as well as touching on the deaths of JFK, LHO & Bobby Kennedy). What an insight.

Great story definitely worth a listen.
Great story and one that is definitely worthy of your audio library. It has changed the way I look at that era and has and also changed my opinion on past historical events.
