The Irishman The book behind the Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated Netflix film
directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci
and Harvey Keitel 'The movie event of the year' - Rolling Stone 'One of Martin
Scorsese's best films ever' - Guardian ~ The Irishman is an epic saga of
organised crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II
veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman 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 twenty-five hits
for the mob, and Brandt turned Sheeran's story into a page-turning true crime
classic.
