The Birth, High Times and Corruption of Atlantic City

From its inception, Atlantic City has always been a town dedicated to
the fast buck, and this wide-reaching history offers a riveting account
of its past 100 years, from the city's heyday as a Prohibition-era mecca
of lawlessness to its rebirth as a legitimate casino resort in the modern
era.

A colorful cast of characters, led by Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, populates
this stranger-than-fiction account of corrupt politics and the toxic power
structure that grew out of guile, finesse, and extortion. Atlantic City's
shadowy past through its rise, fall, and rebirth is given new light in this
revealing, and often appalling, study of legislative abuse and organized
crime.

This audiobook, narrated by Joe Mantegna, is the true story that inspired
the upcoming HBO series of the same name. It includes a foreword written
and narrated by Terence Winter.
