HOLLYWOOD'S CELEBRITY GANGSTER, The Incredible Life and Times of Mickey Cohen
by Brad Lewis
Mickey Cohen was under 5'5" but in the crime world he was considered a giant, especially in L.A, his chosen hunting ground.
His contacts were spread all over the country and included an array of politicians, newsmen and columnists, movie moguls, movie stars and mobsters - all of them ready to take his calls from coast to coast.

From Enigma Books: "Written by a tough and knowledgeable insider, Brad Lewis tells the whole Mickey Cohen story with this biography. All the whispered anecdotes, the news items and the underside of the crime rackets where Mickey operated are in this book, open to scrutiny. From Bugsy Siegel to Lucky Luciano and Albert Anastasia to Meyer Lansky and Carlos Marcello, Mickey knew them well and worked closely with them for many years."
