Not only is @Kaibird123 (with @sgnepal_susan) AMERICAN SCOUNDREL a compelling read, it is a meticulously composed court case, open for all the public to witness, that takes into full account the crimes and misdemeanors of the notorious Roy Cohn (and sheds a bright 1/2

This extremely important book is imbued with deep humanity and, as he demonstrated in HIDDEN VALLEY ROAD, an equally deep understanding of the science involved. One becomes enveloped in the story of this family from the opening pages, always conscious that it could be yours.
