Reviews

[Stefan]

Poorly edited, and very dated, but contains some golden nuggets of information and some insight in the world of Roy Cohn, who had a significant influence on the young Donald Trump.

Recomendado por mi padre. Estuve en un juicio y me hablaba sobre algunas cosas que había leído en este libro que eran de aplicación al caso. Me interesó. Bet it's unhinged af.

Considering this was published in 1981, quite a lot of information is outdated. That being said, this book still contains some useful legal advice from the best lawyer of the 20th century.
