My Take

I want to be clear that I find nothing glamorous about Mickey Cohen's crimes, but I do find his arc historically fascinating. A Brooklyn-born boxer who punched his way up and ended as the boss of a Los Angeles crime family, he embodies the distortions of mid-century America, where ambition and violence could blur into one career. His sixty-three years, from 1913 to 1976, read like the noir films his era inspired. A reference site should not only catalogue the beloved and the photogenic; documenting figures like Cohen, soberly and without romance, is part of keeping the record honest.

Overview
