A world champion boxer tells his story of struggle and triumph—from his traumatic childhood to life in the ring and Hollywood celebrity.

In 1996, at the age of 41, Vinnie Curto won the World Boxing Federation Super Cruiserweight Title. He was on top of the world, but he’d gone through hell to get there. Born in East Boston, Vinnie grew up with a violent father who subjected him to years of horrifying sexual abuse. At age 16, Vinnie escaped by lying about his age and joining the Navy. That decision changed his life—and probably saved it.

Vinnie’s success on the Navy boxing team opened the door to a storied career as a professional boxer. He joined the Olympic boxing team, trained with the legendary Angelo Dundee, and rubbed shoulders with mobsters and Hollywood celebrities. With Sylvester Stallone as his manager, Vinnie even started acting in television shows like Miami Vice and Walker, Texas Ranger.

著者について

Dennis N. Griffin was born in Rome, New York in 1945. He joined the U. S. Navy in 1962. After being honorably discharged in 1966, he returned to central New York. He is married and has four adult children. Mr. Griffin began his career in investigations and law enforcement in 1975, when Pinkerton, Inc. hired ...him as a private investigator. His duties included insurance fraud, missing persons, financial and background investigations, as well as undercover operations. In 1979 the Madison County, New York Department of Social Services hired him as a Senior Child Support Investigator. He was responsible for locating and conducting financial investigations of persons failing to provide legally mandated child support. In 1981 he joined the Madison County Sheriff's Department, and attained the rank of sergeant. He was a shift supervisor and public information officer. During the same time-period, he moonlighted as a part time patrolman for the Village of Chittenango Police Department. In 1987 Mr. Griffin was hired by the New York State Department of Health as Director of Investigations, Wadsworth Center. The primary mission of his unit was to investigate violations of the Public Health Law relating to clinical and environmental laboratories, and health care fraud. He was responsible for hiring and training investigators, case assignments and general supervision. In addition, he personally handled the more difficult and complex investigations. Many of these cases received both local and national media attention. He retired in 1995. In 1996, Dennis was supposed to be retired, but decided to tell the story of what he learned while investigating the operation of a medical examiner's office. It was an eye-opening experience and he felt compelled to share it with others. Dennis eventually authored a fictionalized account called, The Morgue. However, readers didn't believe anything in the book could actually happen, but they liked the story and his style; rough edges and all. Six more mystery/thriller fictions followed. The author is an active member of the Police Writers Association. He attended Onondaga County Community College, Mohawk Valley Community College and the Central New York Regional Academy for Police Training. He has three other novels published through 1stBooks. The first, The Morgue, was published 1999. Red Gold, followed in 2000. In January 2002, his writing career was at a crossroads. Would he continue the uphill struggle for recognition in a genre with a number of well-established authors? Or was it time to find another hobby? The question was answered at a writers' conference when a lady suggested Dennis try his hand at police-related non-fiction. That was the turning point. He began writing Policing Las Vegas, the history of law enforcement in Las Vegas and Clark County from 1905 thru 2004. Policing was released in April 2005. Writing that book opened his eyes to some interesting things about Las Vegas and the mob that he wanted to explore; leading to his second non-fiction book, The Battle for Las Vegas, the story of the Vegas reign of Chicago mob enforcer Tony Spilotro. In the movie Casino, actor Joe Pesci played a character based on Spilotro. The Battle for Las Vegas was released on July 1, 2006. In writing that book, Dennis relied heavily on resources such as retired FBI agents and police detectives from that era, and through his conversations with career criminal and former Spilotro lieutenant Frank Cullotta. Those conversations led to a third Vegas-based non-fiction, CULLOTTA - The Life of a Chicago Criminal, Las Vegas Mobster, and Government Witness, released nationally in July 2007. Since that time, Dennis has written several books on the true stories of the Las Vegas mob and the era in which they reigned. In 2007 Denny began hosting his own Internet radio show on Blog Talk Radio. --このテキストは、kindle_edition版に関連付けられています。

True survivor and a humble man

2019年11月25日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This was a surprisingly good story; I say surprised because I don't exactly follow boxing, but am familiar with many stories surrounding the sport. When I read the acknowledgments which mentioned "My friend Ori Spado..." I was pleasantly surprised as I'd just completed reading his book, The Accidental Gangster by Ori (Anthony) Spado and found it a compelling read.
As Vinnie Curto warned in the beginning of book, I'm paraphrasing, it might bring you to tears and or feelings of horror; and it did. I was horrified over the behavior of his father towards him and sad that Vinnie still needed to feel loved by him; which is not unusual, all children, no matter how old we grow, need to know that we were loved, some more than others. When that love comes unconditionally, as I felt it did for me from both my parents, one realizes just how difficult Vinnie Curto's life began due to his relationship with his father.
I truly enjoyed his story and was amazed to learn about the people he met in his life and the impact it had on him, sometimes good, sometimes not, but no matter which way it went, he is truly a survivor.
This book was provided to me by WIldbluepress, the best publisher of books that matter to interested readers, in my opinion. Sorry New York Times, your top ten book list is a farce compared to the books that Wild Blue Press chooses to publish. Thank you, Lorie

He had determination and drive

I read the book and I was sadden by the way he had to grow up. He fought many obstacles and he prevailed. I give him credit for all he did for people he new and didn't know. Vinny to me had a big heart with a broken soul. by people who was suppose to love and protect him did the unthinkable acts to him. I actually cried. Then I contacted Olga to discuss his childhood. But he beat the odds and became middle weight champ of the world. I was inspired by this book. The people he met on the way to the top. The movie stars and movies he was a in. I think I'm partial because he is started out an East Boston kid who rose to the top. He had determination and drive.not to mention what his father called him as a kid. And still took care of his dad. Got to give him credit. If you grew up in East Boston I say read this book. Good luck Vinny in your future endeavers. Sincerely an eastie girl.

Such a wonderful spirit

This was a sincerely written biography by Vinnie Curto and another one by Dennis Griffin that I enjoyed quite well as I followed Curto from his beginnings in Boston. He had a very rough start with awful parents you wouldn’t wish on anyone. Vinnie does come out of childhood with a wonderful talent for boxing though and that’s something that he works on and nurtures. Along with that he has a work ethic that won't let him quit. He has a very interesting story and it was well worth reading it's so inspiring. This one is for boxing fans and memoir readers.
