“Mickey Cohen is a meticulously-documented biography and incisive social history of breadth and depth. It is a cohesive, cogent, and well-structured exploration of both an obsessive mobster and his inextricable link with the city in which he made his home and caused some harm. Moreover, Tere Tereba splendidly and expressively presents many strands of the Mickey Cohen story without leaving any loose ends or redeeming considerations, however minor.” |
