Book Overview
Mickey Cohen, who died in 1976, was a colorful, feared West Coast gangster-gambler who knew the biggest names in Hollywood including the Rat Pack, was a confidant of Bugsy Siegel, a friend of Las Vegas' late Liz Renay and on first names with the biggest guys in the Mafia, plus Frank Sinatra, Richard Nixon and Billy Graham. Brad Lewis' book about Cohen draws from thousands of resources -- a virtual treasure trove of Mafia-related books, articles and interviews. Written by a tough and knowledgeable insider, Lewis tells the whole Mickey Cohen story during the period when he was involved in the McClellan Hearings in Washington and the beginnings of the Senate Select Committee on Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, also known as the Kefauver hearings. All the whispered anecdotes, the news items and the underside of the crime rackets where Mickey operated are in this book, open to scrutiny. From Bugsy Siegel to Lucky Luciano and Albert Anastasia to Meyer Lansky and Carlos Marcello, Mickey knew them well and worked closely with them for many years. This is Mickey Cohen Inside and Out (This book is an abridged version of Hollywood's Celebrity Gangster.) This description may be from another edition of this product.

Rated 5 starsLife Changing!
By Angela, Verified Purchase
Probably the most life changing book I've read in my whole life. I'll be passing it on to my child when its time. If your really ready to change your life and heal your inner child, your hurt, loneliness, and figure out who you are, this is the book. But you have to do the work along with reading the book. I can't say enough about this book except why arent there more copies?
