  During a cursed childhood in a Manhattan neighborhood teeming with Italian immigrants, Gianni Russo fended for himself at an early age. It was a quality that didn't go unnoticed by Frank Costello—father figure, mentor, and legendary crime boss. Thanks to Costello, Gianni was only twelve when his luck would change for a lifetime. With it came Hollywood glamor, Vegas risk-takers, political conspiracies, sex, murder, shadow governments, and secrets. The stories Gianni Russo could tell . . .Now he does in this bombshell confessional. This is the inside account of the Sicilian Mafia, Cosa Nostra, what really transpired in those Mulberry Street clubs, and who whacked whom—including how mobster Tony Spilotro and his brother really died, finally revealed for the first time. This is Gianni, buddy of Frank Sinatra, and intimately more with Marilyn Monroe. What's the cover-up behind her death, JFK's, and Jimmy Hoffa's? It's all here. So is the clandestine role of the pope as the sacred boss of bosses, the glory days and downfall of Las Vegas, and the colorful behind-the-scenes tales of Gianni's role in the greatest movie ever made, The Godfather. The go-getter Frank Costello once called "The Kid" shares his shocking, exhilarating, sometimes violent, and always riveting life with the dealmakers of Hollywood and the Mob. Gianni Russo lives to tell, and spills it all.

   “A riveting look at the backstory of what’s in the display cases at your local museum. The author profiles seven historic objects with checkered pasts.” —Library Journal   There are many books about museum heists, Holocaust artwork, insider theft, trafficking in antiquities, and stolen Native American objects. Now, there’s finally a book for the general public that covers the entire terrain.   Stolen, Smuggled, Sold features seven vivid and true stories in which the reader joins the author as she uncovers a cultural treasure and follows its often-convoluted trail. Along the way author and reader encounter a cast of fascinating characters from the underbelly of the cultural world: unscrupulous grave robbers, sinister middlemen, ruthless art dealers, venal Nazis, canny lawyers, valiant academics, unstoppable investigative reporters, unwitting curators, and dedicated government officials. Stories include Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer 1, the typset manuscript for Pearl Buck’s The Good Earth, a ceremonial Ghost Dance shirt from the massacre at Wounded Knee, the theft of 4,800 historical audio discs by a top official at the National Archives, a missing original copy of The Bill of Rights, the mummy of Ramses I, and an ancient treasure from Iraq.   While each story is fascinating in and of itself, together they address one of the hottest issues in the museum world: how to deal with the millions of items that have breaks in the chain of ownership, suspicious ownership records, or no provenance at all. The issue of ownership touches on professional practices, international protocols, and national laws. It’s a financial issue since the illicit trade in antiquities and cultural items generates as much as $4 billion to $8 billion a year.

  I chose violence.
   
  
   
  Not because I had to.
   
  Because I wanted to.
   
  
   
  I didn’t grow up in the streets.
   
  I grew up on a wealthy island outside Stockholm.
   
  
   
  And I still chose this life.
   
  
   
  This is the true story of how I became part of one of Europe’s most feared football firms and what it actually felt like to be there.
   
  
   
  Not written by a journalist.
   
  Not based on rumours.
   
  
   
  I lived it.
   
  
   
  I took on a leading role within an AIK sub-group connected to the main firm, moving through a world that stretches across Sweden and into Europe.
   
  
   
  Sweden’s hooligan scene is not what people think.
   
  
   
  It’s not chaos.
   
  It’s not random.
   
  
   
  It’s organised.
   
  Disciplined.
   
  Planned.
   
  
   
  Fights arranged in forests.
   
  Groups meeting far from the public eye.
   
  
   
  No weapons. No excuses.
   
  
   
  Just men walking towards each other, knowing exactly what’s about to happen.
   
  
   
  There’s adrenaline.
   
  There’s pride.
   
  
   
  Moments that feel bigger than anything else.
   
  
   
  And then there’s everything that comes with it.
   
  
   
  This is about brotherhood, identity, and what it does to you over time.
   
  
   
  This is Swedish hooliganism from the inside.
