MEYER  LANSKYxt.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Meyer Lansky was one of the shrewdest gangsters to walk the streets of New York in the 20th century. Best known as Lucky Luciano's right hand man, he was the Mob's financial mastermind -- the brains behind some of the underworld's most profitable schemes. An FBI agent once said of Lansky that he would have been chairman of the board of General Motors if he'd gone into legitimate business.

FROM THE AUTHOR:

"Meyer Lansky lived the part of history that experienced the maturation of American gambling: from street crap games into the back rooms of saloons, speakeasies, and sleazy nightclubs, then to lake houses and carpet joints, and finally to lavish casinos. Meyer didn't do it all, but he was there, a mythical magic man who made the 'house' the ruler of the gambling universe. It still is."
