SUPERFLY: THE UNTOLD STORY OF FRANK LUCAS - By Anthony Gonzalez & Ron Chepesiuk
In this page turning narrative, the authors investigate the life, times and career of Frank Lucas and some of the claims to fame made about him in the movie. This includes his relationship with Bumpy Johnson, his connection to La Cosa Nostra, the money he made in the drug trade and the development of the Asian drug pipeline. The authors also investigate Lucas's controversial life as an informant. Anyone wanting to learn the real story behind the Hollywood making of gangster legend should read this book.
"SuperFly is a riveting, compelling work that reveals and exposes the gross exaggerations, myths and lies about the Frank Lucas "SuperFly" story, while supporting and letting stand that which is true and factual. A remarkable and enjoyable read." --Louis Diaz, DEA undercover agent, who was a principal player taking down Nicky Barnes, Frank Lucas' archenemy
"A fascinating story of the enigmatic "Superfly" Frank Lucas. A balanced portrait that will hopefully be an antidote to the Hollywood version to be released later this year." --Stephen Brodt, criminologist and book review editor for Trends in Organized Crime
