"The first meeting between Uri Dan and Meyer Lansky took place in Israel seven years ago. Many confidential interviews and intimate conversations since then in Tel Aviv, Miami and New York provide the basis for this dramatic and revealing biography of the most powerful.living figure in the history of organized crime. Six thousand pages of crucial documentary evidence drawn from official and unofficial sources in Washington, Havana and Jerusalem and eight years of interviews with gangsters, law enforcement agents and businessmen from New York to Geneva make this the most shocking" Mafia" story of our time. It's the inside story of the organization's central member ~Meyer Lansky ~the man at the heart of the international gambling empire. Along with Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Waxey Gordon and Bugsy Siegel, Lansky grew from small~time rackets to sophisticated bootlegging and emerged as the undisputed leader of a new corporation of crime. With unfailing business acumen Lansky forged a criminal network touching every sphere of American life. He set up a gambler's paradise in Cuba; transformed Las Vegas from a desert town into the casino capital of the world and became the Mob's money man ~ the international banker for hundreds of lucrative legitimate and illegitimate interests. From the early teenage gang wars on the streets of New York's Lower East Side and the world of hit men and double~cross to the territorial battles of later years, Meyer Lansky: Mogul of the Mob is a shocking testimonial to the use and persistence of criminal power in America. It traces the violent careers of Lansky and his associates over a period of sixty years. Luciano, Costello, Genovese and Siegel are dead. Meyer Lansky survives ~ the true mogul of the mob ~ the man still hoping for asylum and burial in Israel.". Bookseller Inventory # 8161002
