Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition beige boards/black spine/gold spine lettering contained in a very good condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Robert Lacey; Author Dedication; Preliminary Two Page USA Map Listing Meyer Lansky Owned Casinos and Other Businesses; Author's Note and Acknowledgments; Source Notes; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with four sections of black-and-white photographic plates. "They called him the Godfather of the Godfathers, the Chairman of the Board of the National Crime Syndicate, the Mafia's banker. They credited him with a personal fortune of $300 million, with having said "We're bigger than U.S. Steel." He was portrayed on the screen in The Godfather, Part II as Hyman Roth, dividing up Cuba with his fellow gangsters. If, in the mythology of organized crime, Al Capone symbolized the crude menace of the machine gun and the baseball bat, Meyer Lansky stood for the brains, the sophistication, the hot money, the sheer cleverness of it all. And yet, when it came down to it, no law enforcement official in sixty years could find much to pin on the supposed boss of bosses, and within a few years of Lansky's death, his crippled son was living on welfare. Little Man is a book about organized crime unlike any other yet written. In this brilliant biography and social history, Robert Lacey separates the strands of fact and legend in Meyer Lansky's career, revealing a truth about the gangster life in America that is far more fascinating and dramatic than fiction. A Jewish immigrant from Russia, Lansky broke into a life of crime running crap games and acting as a shtarke, a strong-arm man for Jewish and Italian gamblers on the Lower East Side of New York. Teaming up with his pals Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel, he graduated to bootlegging, Clever Meyer became the master of the "share-out," keeping all the figures in his head and dividing up the spoils from smuggled liquor shipments. In the thirties and forties he moved on to illegal gambling, running the classiest casinos around. He invested in modern Las Vegas - though he never really liked the place - and became the gambling consultant to President Batista during Havana's glory days. In World War II he even acted as a go-between for U.S. Naval Intelligence, paving the way for gangster help to the Allied invasion of Sicily. Then in 1951 Estes Kefauver's Senate Crime Committee named Lansky as one of the leaders of organized crime in America, fueling the legend that would eventually destroy the gangster. Cuba's revolutionary leaders expelled him in 1960 as a corrupting influence. His attempts to go into legitimate business and later to settle in Israel were frustrated by the shadows of his past. His every step was dogged by the FBI and the IRS, as his family disintegrated and his health declined. His death was front-page news, but at the end, his power and wealth were all gone. Based on dramatic new documentation and on firsthand interviews with Lansky's close friends and business associates, with law enforcement experts, and with members of the Lansky family, Little Man is a powerful and irresistible narrative of a man and a way of life never before truly examined. Robert Lacey has written, in this his finest book, a groundbreaking exploration of organized crime in America and of our enduring fascination with criminals." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
