Tough Jews
Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams
Rich Cohen
Discover a generation of Jewish gangsters, from their beginnings in Brooklyn candy stores to the mob's most notorious hitmen. Follow the exploits of Louis Lepke, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel, amongst others, in this densely anecdotal, gruesomely funny history of muscle, moxie, and money. Tough Jews shatters stereotypes as deftly as its subjects once shattered kneecaps.
