American Scoundrel
Kai Bird
From the 1950s to the 1980s, the many dramas of American political life had one common denominator: Roy Cohn. In his twenties, the infamous young prosecutor sent Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the electric chair and burned 30,000 books by 'communist' authors. Later in life, he was invited to Reagan's Oval Office. Nancy Reagan called Cohn often for advice and gossip - indeed, much of his influence derived from his transactional relationship with gossip columnists. Perhaps most significantly, he mentored the young Donald Trump. The real estate developer, whom Cohn called his 'best friend', phoned him a dozen times a day. Indicted by the Feds on three occasions for bribery, perjury, extortion and other white-collar crimes, Cohn was acquitted every time. To achieve his ends, he did whatever it took. This biography sheds light on the life of the man who is arguably the mastermind behind the current arc of American political life.
