For the Sins of My Father by Albert DeMeo Book Summary

A suspenseful, emotionally charged real-life Sopranos: The son of New York's most notorious Mafia killer reveals the conflicted life he led being raised by a cold-blooded murderer, who was also a devoted family man, and the wrenching legacy of Mafia family life.

Al DeMeo will never forget the day in 1992 when a coworker, a fellow trader at the New York Stock Exchange, taunted him with a copy of the hot new book Murder Machine, chronicling the horrific criminal life of DeMeo's father, Roy, the head of the most deadly gang in organized crime. The moment sent DeMeo into a psychological tailspin: How could he have spent his life looking up to, and loving, a vicious killer?

For the Sins of My Father recounts the chilling rise and fall of the man who led the Gambino family's most fearsome killers and thieves, through the eyes of a son who had never known any other kind of life. Coming of age in an opulent Long Island house where money is abundant but its source is unclear, Al becomes Roy's confidant, sent to call in loans at age fourteen and gradually coming to understand his father's job description--loan shark, car thief, porn purveyor and, above all, murderer. But when Al is seventeen, Roy's body is found in the trunk of a car, a gangland slaying that places Al between federal prosecutors seeking his testimony and a mob crew determined to keep him quiet.

Desperate to abide by the father-son bond, but equally determined to escape his father's dangerous and doomed life, Al Demeo embarks on a courageous quest for the truth, reconciliation, and honor. With the implacable narrative drive of a thriller and the power of a painfully honest memoir, For the Sins of My Father presents a startling and unprecedented perspective on the underworld of organized crime, exposing for the first time the cruel legacy of a Mafia life.

Really enjoyed it!. It was so honest. Most would consider Roy Demeo to be a monster, but here you read about a boy who loved his father and the tribulation he went through discovering who his father was. Ultimately finding out after his father's death, the kind of terrible things he had really done and coming to terms with it. I really felt for Albert.

Amazing. Breath taking and absorbing, to the point that you feel that you are Albert and that you have lived the life he has.

Well Written and Compelling. This book is about the son of a Mafia capo. It is interesting and insightful from the perspective of a loving and largely innocent son. I recommend it to anyone who is intrigued to see the other side of the mob guy, as the loving head of his family, who is also deeply immersed in the life of la cosa nostra.

Good read. Although I enjoyed reading the good side of Roy DeMeo, it should have included more information of how his father teamed with his associates and discarded his enemies. However this was a very sober account of a child living in that world. I enjoyed it very much.

Sins. Loved the book

For the sins of my father. Great story, well written. Couldn't put it down.

Don't bother-. Boring and laborious, I was unable to finish this book.

For the Sins of My Father. A truly well written and interesting book. The real life experiences are more powerful than the spy or mafia made up stories. Worthwhile read.

For the Sins of My Father. Very well written, I could not put it down. Shows the very human and family side of Al and his family. Thank you Al for sharing your story. I pray that you, your sisters, and Mother are well.

Absolutely amazing. Being I am quite familiar with the subjects the book is about I can honestly say Albert Demeo's portrayals of the members of the Demeo crew were spot on . If you read the Murder Machine RAG read this book for the real story.
