EP66 - The Ghost in the Machine: Six Years Inside the Mafia with Donnie Brasco
In the 1970s, the Five Families of New York seemed untouchable, a shadowy government operating by its own brutal code. To break them, the FBI sent one man, Joe Pistone, into the lion's den under the alias Donnie Brasco, hoping he could survive long enough to map their criminal empire from the inside. This is the story of the most dangerous and successful undercover operation in American history, and the man who sacrificed his own identity to bring down the mob.
