&ldquo;Mark Seal&rsquo;s seductive book about the making of The Godfather &ndash; often with help of the men it was about &ndash; could be a movie itself. He couldn&rsquo;t have gotten any closer and lived to type about it.&rdquo; &mdash; Nicholas Pileggi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wise Guy: Life in a Mafia Family and Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas  "As gloriously Homeric and entertaining as The Godfather itself. I learned something new on almost every page." &mdash; Graydon Carter, editor, Air Mail  &ldquo;Rollicking and entertaining, Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli lays bare not only the massive executive egos at war during The Godfather&rsquo;s journey to the screen, and the artistic struggles of the young and despairing Francis Coppola who thought he had a failure on his hands, but also the fascinating tales of how the mob muscled in and protected its production. Mark Seal has chronicled a classic cinematic history that conjures all the alchemy of The Godfather&rsquo;s magic.&rdquo; &mdash; Maureen Orth, international bestselling author of Vulgar Favors: The Hunt for Andrew Cunanan, the Man Who Killed Gianni Versace  &ldquo;If you love The Godfather, or American movies, or American gangsters, or just a truly great read, Mark Seal&rsquo;s Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli is the book for you. It&rsquo;s the rollicking inside story behind the making of what may be America&rsquo;s greatest movie &ndash; I couldn&rsquo;t put it down.&rsquo;&#39; &mdash; Bryan Burrough, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Barbarians at the Gate and Forget the Alamo  &ldquo;Absorbing and unforgettable. As sweeping and vivid as The Godfather itself, Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli captures moviemaking at its most tumultuous. Mark Seal is a master storyteller, bringing to life the embattled young director Coppola, the unpredictable Brando, and the upstart Pacino with made-for-Hollywood panache.&rdquo; &mdash; Robert Draper, New York Times bestselling author of To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America into Iraq  &ldquo;A revealing and entertaining look at the behind-the-scenes machinations of Francis Ford Coppola&rsquo;s epic film. Masterpiece yields masterpiece with this exuberant page-turner.&rdquo; &mdash; Publishers Weekly, starred review  "A&nbsp;ne plus ultra&nbsp;page-turner on the making of the ultimate mafia movie." &mdash;&nbsp;The Globe and Mail  &ldquo;If you think the 1972 movie The Godfather is dramatic, wait until you hear its backstory&mdash;from how Mario Puzo wrote his 1969 novel (the basis for the film) in a desperate frenzy to pay off his many debts, to the filmmakers&rsquo; battles with real-life mobsters. It&rsquo;s a fitting tribute on the cusp of the great film&rsquo;s 50th anniversary in March.&rdquo; &mdash;&nbsp;Christina Ianzito, AARP The Magazine  ". . . a thorough, detailed, and beautifully written account of the creation of a masterpiece, as much of a page-turner as the novel that inspired it all."&nbsp; &mdash;&nbsp;Jason Bailey,&nbsp;The Playlist&nbsp;  &ldquo;Combining extensive research with insightful new interviews, this chronicle of The Godfather could be the definitive look at the making of an American classic.&rdquo; &mdash; Library Journal, starred review  &ldquo;[Seal] makes us an offer we can&rsquo;t refuse with this detailed, fascinating, and frequently surprising look at the origins and filming of The Godfather &hellip; Few movies have had such tumultuous origins and turned out to be undisputed classics, and Seal does a superb job of telling us exactly how this happened. For fans of books about moviemaking, this is a definite must read.&rdquo; &mdash; David Pitt, Booklist   &ldquo;A wickedly pacey page-turner, stuffed like Vito&rsquo;s cheeks with character and detail.&rdquo; &mdash; Kevin Harley, Total Film
