Mickey Cohen was a colorful, feared West Coast gangster-gambler who knew the biggest names in Hollywood (including the Rat Pack), was a bodyguard for Bugsy Siegel, was a friend of Las Vegas’ late Liz Renay and was on first names with the biggest guys in the Mafia. Each of the five sections has something for everyone interested in the Mob with theories on who shot Bugsy in 1947; a look at the early days of Las Vegas and why Cohen liked certain hotels; and his connection with Hollywood and the entertainment industry. The book’s index includes the Mob’s Albert Anastasia; stripper Candy Barr; Hollywood big shot Harry Cohn; Frank Costello; gangster Jack Dragna; Jimmy Fratianno; Momo Giancana; J. Edgar Hoover; racket investigator Estes Kefauver; Mob brain Meyer Lansky; actor George Raft; the dapper Johnny Rosselli; ; President John Kennedy and his brother Robert. This is both a fascinating history of time gone by and a biography of a survivor and Lewis has written it with flash and substance.369 pages, paperbound, 2007
