A review by 2000ace
King of the Jews by Nick Tosches

5.0

Oh yeah, Arnold Rothstein, the first Jewish organized crime boss, rum runner, and helluva guy. In many ways, this is Nick Tosches' paean to New York, and a lot of it is a straight-up rant, done in the style that only Nick and Lester Bangs can achieve, This is the 4 a.m. chain-smoking, thirteenth whiskey kind of writing that makes me yearn for more.
