In his own words, real life American Gangster Frank Lucas recounts his life as the former heroin dealer and organized crime boss who ran Harlem during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Determined to break the Italian mafia’s monopoly over drug smuggling in New York, Frank cut out middlemen and began smuggling heroin into the United States directly from his source in Vietnam using the coffins of dead American soldiers.
Very engaging and read well by the narrator. Excellent portrayal of characters and it was very easy for the story to come alive. The validity of some facts in the story, however, are highly debated.
