Gangster Squad. By Paul Lieberman (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

The history of early Los Angeles California police dealings with the mob; Mickey Cohen at the forefront is the basis for this book. A movie was made from this true crime story and I have yet to watch it but I intend to as soon as possible. The name dropping was surprising as Mickey was acquainted with movie stars and performers such as Sammy Davis Jr and others. Quite fascinating from a true crime and Hollywood point of view. I thoroughly enjoyed the book though at times the fine details were difficult to follow. I really did not think I was going to come out of this one. At 549 pages this is a long book. At 549 pages the way the author writes and with the droll subject matter this is a very long book. Not that the subject matter is necessarily boring. Just that you should not expect anything like mobsters going for the shoot outs with one another like you see in the movies. Micky Cohen was a two bit thug that was constantly pestered by the L.A.P.D. in an attempt to make this little rat's life hell. At that it appears they were successful, end of story. I do give the author some credit for the amount of research someone did into the actual story.
