FROM AUDIOPHILE--
Dazzling! ROTHSTEIN is nonstop fiery journalism, finely researched and
colorfully written, read with truly impressive panache by the inimitable
Grover Gardner. Gardner tears into the material with vigor and intelligence, a
knowing insider's edge, and a smirk in each syllable. His style here is reminiscent of
period radio announcers, conjuring vivid images of the streets and denizens of old
New York in every breath. Be prepared for over fourteen hours of scintillating history
that reveals the rampant corruption and indelible characters of the times. Arnold
Rothstein grew from a rebellious Jewish boy of the tenements to one of the most
influential and conniving criminal minds in history. His intricate rigging of the 1919
World Series was a gem, but Rothstein, clearly an obsessive-compulsive gambling
addict, engineered some of the biggest scams, criminal networks, and graft systems
ever known in America. Like many of his ilk, his personal life was a tragedy, and
Rothstein surely shared the wealth. A must listen, must own audiobook. D.J.B.
