Mick Gatto.
Gambler.
Underworld veteran.
Melbourne gangland survivor.
Mick Gatto in his bestselling autobiography finally reveals the man behind the headlines.
Gatto’s unique position-of knowing all the players in the Gangland Wars but not being involved in drug trafficking-gave him a remarkable perspective to watch the battles unfold.
I, Mick Gatto is an extraordinary insight into a colourful and mysterious world that few even know exists.
Part of the proceeds of each book sold will be donated to the Royal Children’s Hospital. A veteran of Melbourne’s underworld, Mick Gatto is one of the few survivors of Melbourne’s Gangland Wars. Many of the victims were his long-time friends. Today the former heavyweight boxer runs Elite Cranes, a crane company that employs about sixty people, and Arbitrations and Mediations Pty Ltd, among others.
