Henry Hill, Daniel Simone : The Lufthansa Heist: Behind the Six-Million-Dollar Cash Haul That Shook the World before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Lufthansa Heist: Behind the Six-Million-Dollar Cash Haul That Shook the World:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One more on the Mafia with brand new information on the biggest crime of the 1900s - America's Last CenturyBy Karen S. ColeThis book is about one heist that proved to be sensational, and not just Mob oriented. I loved this story. It was riveting, made in the style of a novel. But you can smell the movie potential, like smoke generated from the back of a pine scented "boss" or pimped-out car. You know, how gasoline can entice you with a scent like food. This book sings with new info on the Mafia. It doesn't support it, nor does it defame it. Rather it puts you within the leafy scenery - you who are Mob enthusiasts (for whatever reason) to peruse it. The story lopes along at a galloping pace, steady throughout. I find it informative and entertaining, with supportive realistic, life-like dialogues. It's obvious to anyone that the author didn't mean it to be appreciated solely by true crime fans. It's journalistically based, serious rather than Hunter S. Thompson's gonzo stuff. Dead straight to the throat. Maybe yours? The Mob is still alive and well in this world, possibly heading out of it too. At the same time, yet! But this book, meanwhile, contains all the essential elements appealing to each class in society. Not just low life scum, not just middle class bored women, not just rich Shark Tank emulative of Black Panther types. You should read this book, without any guilt about it being somewhat, not entirely, about the Mob once more. It will tell you what you need to know about it, instead, in rich, original and sophisticated charm details. And it mainly concerns the Heist of the Last Century; who knows what really happened? You will: The Lufthansa heist was a robbery at John F. Kennedy International Airport on December 11, 1978. An estimated $5.875 million ($21.3 million today) was stolen, with $5 million in cash and $875,000 in jewelry, making it the largest cash robbery committed on American soil at the time. -- Wikipedia reference. Now you've got it in a nutshell, and not my slightly underground anti-Mob bias - read this book, and maybe you too will wonder what you could do with millions of dollars.64 of 68 people found the following review helpful.

Oddly written tale with some interesting revelations and details on the robberyBy QUOKKA_54If you've read "" you are well prepared for this oddly written tale of the Lufthansa robbery in 1978 that netted $6 million, along with at least 8 murders in a bloody tale of how the robbery actually happened. Clumsy writing style with a lot of writing that simply doesn't fit or work with the story but still, lots of interesting details on the crime.

The inside story—from the organizer himself--of the largest unrecovered cash haul in history. This full account brings readers behind the heist memorialized in , a crime that has baffled law enforcement for decades. From Henry Hill himself, The Lufthansa Heist is the last book he worked on before his 2012 death.On December 11, 1978, a daring armed robbery rocked Kennedy Airport, resulting in the largest unrecovered cash haul in world history, totaling six million dollars. The perpetrators were never apprehended and thirteen people connected to the crime were murdered in homicides that, like the crime itself, remain unsolved to this day. The burglary has fascinated the public for years, dominating headlines around the globe due to the story’s unending ravel of mysteries that baffled the authorities.One of the organizers of the sensational burglary, Henry Hill, who passed away in 2012, in collaboration with Daniel Simone, has penned an unprecedented “tell-all” about the robbery with never-before-unveiled details, particulars only known to an insider. In 2013, this infamous criminal act again flared up in the national news when five reputed were charged in connection to the robbery. This latest twist lends the project an extraordinary sense of timing, and the legal proceedings of the newly arrested suspects will unfold over the next year, continuing to keep the Lufthansa topic in the news.

For about a fourth of this remarkable true-crime story, readers will feel these low-level mobsters are the cutest little psychopaths ever. Boozing, gambling, wrenching, stealing- just guys having fun. Their charm fades, though, as we move into the meat of the story, the 1978 heist of $6 million from the Lufthansa safe at Kennedy Airport. The late Henry Hill- played him in Goodfellas – was on the fringe of the action. With coauthor Simone’s help, he narrates much of the story- up to the end, when he turns snitch. Simone tells the rest of this engrossing tale directly, and he is one helluva writer. One man’s “temper ignited as easily as gasoline vapor.” A woman’s running mascara “made her look like a spider.” Simone spends much time on officialdom’s attempts to jail these reprobates, and maybe it’s unintentional that he makes the cops out as no brighter than the perps they chase. Like many of the most compelling true-crime tales, the distinction between cops and robbers is blurry at best. Fine reading. – Don Crinklaw (Booklist)Cinematic in style, this enthralling read is one you won’t want to miss. The Lufthansa Heist is an amazing, in-depth look at one of the most notorious heists in American and Queens history.
