Yep. Johnny Depp, Al Pacino and Michael Madsen. Have you seen it? Brilliant movie.

I have seen the movie and the extended version of the movie many times. I have heard that the movie is glamorised a bit in some places and not 100% accurate. I have also listened to the 'audio book' version that IS available to purchase in the UK. This is narrated by the author and is more authentic coming from him.

That's why I want to read this book because it was written by the real 'Donnie Brasco,' Joseph D Pistone. Apparently, the book is written from a different angle to that of the movie and audio book. It starts in the courtroom with many indictments being handed out to the gangsters. It's all true as well; this guy actually spent nearly 6 years undercover in the Mafia. Truly amazing!

If you have exhausted other UK based ebookstores and still can't find it, then I would suggest getting your hands on a VPN that would mask your true location and give you an American IP (Hotspot Shield, for instance). Once enabled, whenever you browse Amazon, you will appear to be in US, and can therefore buy from the US store.
Of course, you will also need a valid US billing address for your account...
Can you tell me how I would achieve this? Where would I get a VPN and how do I get around not having a US billing address? Is there a way?

Thanks
