Meyer Lansky's Secret: How Jewish Mobsters Helped Build Israel

Описание: Meyer Lansky helped arm a nation before it existed. Then that nation told him he couldn't live there.

In the 1940s, a secret network of American gangsters raised millions of dollars, smuggled weapons through mob-controlled docks, stole machine guns from U.S. military depots, and flew stolen bombers across 3 continents — all to help create the State of Israel. Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Mickey Cohen, Longy Zwillman, and others leveraged their control of the New York and Newark waterfronts to move arms to Jewish fighters in Palestine while simultaneously sabotaging weapons shipments headed to Arab armies.
When the war was won, not one of them was thanked.

This is the untold story of how Jewish organized crime intersected with one of the most dramatic chapters of the 20th century — and what happened when Lansky tried to cash in on the debt he believed he was owed.
