Bob Maheu First Wednesday Luncheon by Joe W. Brown

TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE

The Lansky Legacy, written by Meyer Lansky’s grandson and namesake, Las Vegan (regular Bob Maheu Luncheon attendee) Meyer Lansky II, and Newsday’s Sandra Peddie, this definitive biography chronicles the life of the business entrepreneur who built a gambling empire, established a more efficient Mafia, and changed the course of organized crime forever. 

Meyer Lansky’s impact lives on today from the lavish casinos of Las Vegas, to the countless films and shows like The Godfather Part II, Bugsy, and Boardwalk Empire, with Lansky portrayed by actors Lee Strasberg, Ben Kingsley, and Harvey Keitel. He remains a legend in the annals of American crime, but now, after decades of fictionalized accounts, historical conjecture, and larger-than-life mythmaking, Meyer II sets the record straight. Packed with surprising insights from Meyer II, his family, and inner circle, The Lansky Legacy includes never-before-seen personal letters, photographs, and firsthand stories. Foreword by Antoinette Giancana, daughter of Sam Giancana and author of The Mafia Princess. Afterword by Phil Genovese, grandson of Vito Genovese and author of The Grandfather Clause.
