Non-Fiction Memoir
In Being Oscar, one of America’s most celebrated
criminal defense attorneys recounts the stories and cases of
his epic life. The Mafia’s go-to defender, he has tried an
estimated 300 criminal cases, and won most of them. His
roster of clients reads like a history of organized
crime: Meyer Lansky, Nicky Scarfo, and “Lefty”
Rosenthal, as well as Mike Tyson and boxing promoter Don
King, along with a midget, a dentist, and a federal
judge.
After thirty-five years as a defender, he
ran for mayor of Las Vegas, and America’s greatest Mob
lawyer became the mayor of its sexiest city. He was so
popular his image appeared on the $5, $25, and $100
chips. While mayor of Vegas, he starred on the screen
in Rush Hour 2 and CSI. He is as large a
character in the history of organized crime as any of his
clients and as legendary a figure in the history of Las
Vegas as the entrepreneurs (his friends and clients) who
built the city. This is his astonishing story—the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
