Supermob: How Sidney Korshak and His Criminal Associates Became America’s Hidden Power Brokers by Gus Russo

Description

Presenting startling, never-before-seen revelations about such famous members as Jules Stein, Joe Glaser, Ronald Reagan, Lew Wasserman, David Bazelon & John Jacob Factor–as well as infamous, scrupulously low-profile members–Russo pulls the lid off of a half-century of criminal infiltration into American business, politics & society. At the heart of it is Sidney “The Fixer” Korshak, who from the 1940’s until his death in the ’90s, wasn’t only the most powerful lawyer in the world, according to the FBI, but the enigmatic player behind countless 20th century power mergers, political deals & organized crime chicaneries. As the underworld’s primary link to the corporate upperworld, his backroom dominance & talent for anonymity will likely never be equaled. As Supermob proves, neither will his story.
