Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
After thirty-five years as a defender, he ran for mayor of Las Vegas, and Americaâs greatest Mob lawyer became the mayor of its sexiest city. He was so popular his image appeared on the 5, 25, and 100 chips. While mayor of Vegas, he starred on the screen in Rush Hour 2 and CSI. He is as large a character in the history of organized crime as any of his clients and as legendary a figure in the history of Las Vegas as the entrepreneurs (his friends and clients) who built the city. This is his astonishing storyâthe truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
In Being Oscar,one of Americaâs most celebrated criminal defense attorneys recounts the stories and cases of his epic life. The Mafiaâs go-to defender, he has tried an estimated 300 criminal cases, and won most of them. His roster of clients reads like a history of organized crime: Meyer Lansky, Nicky Scarfo, and âLeftyâ Rosenthal, as well as Mike Tyson and boxing promoter Don King, along with a midget, a dentist, and a federal judge.
