BOARDWALK EMPIRE, A BOOK BY NELSON JOHNSON, IS THE TRUE STORY INSPIRING AN HBO SERIES FROM TERENCE WINTER AND MARTIN SCORSESE.
This book was read once, in like new condition.
Through most of the 20th century, Atlantic City was controlled by a powerful partnership of local politicians and racketeers. Funded by payoffs from gambling rooms, bars, and brothels, this corrupt alliance reached full bloom during the reign of Enoch “Nucky” Johnson — the second of three bosses to head the Republican machine that dominated city politics and society.
Boardwalk Empire is the true story that inspired the epic HBO series starring Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, and Kelly Macdonald, with a pilot episode written by Terence Winter (The Sopranos) and directed by Martin Scorsese (Shutter Island).
