Presented here from author Nicholas Von Hoffman is the notorious life and times of Roy Cohn - lawyer, fixer, destroyer, good guy? No one so famous or controversial led so many veiled lives. Cohn was born in The Bronx and educated at Columbia. He was an American lawyer and prosecutor who rose to prominence as Senator Joe McCarthy's chief counsel during the ArmyMcCarthy hearings. He assisted the investigations of suspected communists and became prominent as a DOJ prosecutor at the espionage trial of the Rosenbergs which led to their execution in 1953. Cohn's received additional public notoriety as Joe McCarthy's special assistant for the House Un-American Activities Committee or HUAC. Cohn's reputation was hit following McCarthy's fall from grace. Following this counsel to Sen. McCarthy, Cohn became a prominent political player. Cohn had a three decade long career as an NYC attorney. He represented Donald Trump from 1973-1985. Other clients included Aristotle Onassis, shipping magnate who married the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy; Yankees owner George Steinbrenner; mafia figures such as Tony Salerno, Carmine Galante, John Gotti and Mario Gigante; and, Studio 54 owners Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager. Nicholas Von Hoffman presents a comprehensive portrait of Roy Cohn, his ideological passions, personal life, and patterns of power and influence. He was a friend to J. Edgar Hoover, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump; but, was a relentless scourge to leftists, while being an NYC Democrat. Von Hoffman's biography is a rich account based upon extensive testimony from his family, colleagues, friends, and foes. He was an operator and preferred manipulating connections with the powerful for his motives. A fascinating story of a figure who was both brilliant and outrageous. Insured post.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
