Synopsis
In the 1970s, Frank Lucas was the king of the Harlem drug trade, bringing in over a million dollars a day. So many heroin addicts were buying from him on 116th Street that he claimed the Transit Authority changed the bus routes to avoid them. He lived a glamorous life, hobnobbing with athletes, musicians, and politicians, but Lucas was a ruthless gangster. He was notorious for using the coffins of dead GIs to smuggle heroin into the United States and, before being sentenced to seventy years in prison, he played a major role in the near death of New York City. In "American Gangster," Mark Jacobson's captivating account of the life of Frank Lucas (the basis for the forthcoming major motion picture) joins other tales of New York City from the past thirty years. The collection features a number of Jacobson's most famous essays, as well as previous unpublished work and recent articles on 9/11 conspiracy theorists, America's #1 escort, and Harlem's own Charles Rangel, the new chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "American Gangster" is a vibrant, many-layered portrait of the most fascinating city in the world, by one of the most acclaimed journalists of our time., In the 1970s, Frank Lucas was the king of the Harlem drug trade, bringing in over a million dollars a day.

- a***0 (59)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis seller is a scammer. They listed and advertised this listing as “Fallout 3 - Game of the year edition” which is the sole reason I bought it, because I am looking for the game of the year edition with all of the DLC included on the disc. Well lo and behold, the seller sent me a plain old copy of Fallout 3, which for one I already own, and two is not what was advertised and listed!!!! It says in the item title GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION!!!!Fallout 3 - Game of the Year Edition (Microsoft Xbox 360, 2009) (Nr. 355899236224)
