"A terrific job capturing Rothstein's colorful career [shedding]
new light on Rothstein's role in fixing the World Series."
"Pietrusza's material puts real flesh on the story of how the new
machinery of mass entertainment--the yellow press, movies, radio,
the recording industry--created and brought together the culture of
celebrity, politics, big-time sports, stock market fortunes and
organized crime in the 1920s."
