A college baseball scholarship was his way out of the inner city, but his dreams of going pro were crushed by an arm injury. John Alite was forced to return home to the only life he knew, where having to live on the streets of New York meant one thing - earning how to survive. He was driven. He was extreme. He was feared. But most of all, he was loyal.

From a young age, he found himself influenced by the wrong crowd. Enticed by the wealth, power, and prestige of the mafia, he immersed himself in a world that was foreign to most. A society where policies were enforced by instilling fear. Honor and loyalty were merely a misnomer. The cold, bitter truth was he was expendable, and his sworn allegiance was rewarded with betrayal.

On the run and unable to trust anyone, John was finally forced to confront his own demon - himself. Facing the harsh realities of who he was and what he had done wasn't pretty, and he had some serious, life-altering decisions to make - ones that would come with a price. Through a life of heartache, betrayal, and loss comes a story of grace, healing, and redemption.

A whole mob book about some kids playing baseball and a few round-robin tournaments at the local boxing gym? No thanks. Put some of those “weight-lifters” on a wrestling mat or in an mma cage and see who prevails. Could’ve been a good intro if shorter, but way too much about crazy kids. Props for trying to work with youths nowadays. Much needed.

A whole mob book about some gym sparing?

Completely leaves out the period of time when he’s around the Gambinos and selling drugs. Doesn’t cover any of the time when he’s an “enforcer”. Didn’t buy to listen to JUST childhood stories.

The period of his life no one bought the book to hear about

This brings you to the part you purchased the book for. Nothing about the work performed for the mob. Very disappointed.
