Story Behind The Book
My autobiography title is MY FATHER MY DON tells of a Son's Journey from Organized Crime to Sobriety and the Bond between a Father and Son that is stronger than Omerta, the oath taken by members of Organized Crime Families. Tony Nap Napoli is the son of one of the most powerful and respected organized crime leaders of the modern era. Tony's father was a Genovese Family Capo, James "Jimmy Nap" Napoli--a mob Kingpin who ruled over the Largest gambling empire in America for almost 40 years.
Tony's autobiography is a bold recounting of the confidential world that he and his father inhabited. In candid, no-holds-barred language, Tony describes his life as a boxer, army soldier, enforcer, casino boss, fugitive, hustler, and offspring to one of the most powerful mobsters of the century. His story is not only about the spellbinding dealings of the Napoli empire, but also and equally important the singularly cherished relationship he had with his father, his don. Tony Napoli's rollercoaster account of family legend and organized crime followered by his turnaround focus on sobriety and civic contribution is a narrative of our time.
