Now in paperback comes the first and authorized biography of Stuey
Ungar, the greatest card player of all time, who was backed by the
Mob in New York before moving to Las Vegas where he won the World
Series of Poker three times, then died mysteriously in a seedy
motel on the Vegas strip at the age of 45. He was the Jim Morrison
of the casino, a legend before he was of legal age. Stuey Ungar,
the son of a Jewish bookie on Manhattan's Lower East Side, dropped
out of high school to become an underground card-table sensation,
eventually taking out every top gin-rummy player on the East Coast.
Bankrolled by the Genovese crime family, Stuey would soon travel
around the country in search of new opponents and
opportunities--including poker. He would go on to win the World
Series of Poker a record three times. And then his luck began to
run out. One of a Kind is the startling tale of a man who won at
his game and lost control of his life. Whether tossing away his
winnings at the racetrack or on a single roll of the dice, Stuey
was notorious for gambling every single dollar in his pocket.
Though he had won an estimated $30 million in his lifetime, Stuey
had no bank account, not even a home address. He was found dead in
a Vegas motel--with $800 in cash on his person, the only money he
had left--at the age of forty-five. An intimate, authorized
biography--Nolan Dalla was commissioned by Stuey in 1998 to pen his
story, resulting in hundreds of hours of taped interviews and
conversations--One of a Kind illuminates the dark genius of one of
poker's most memorable figures.

"In the early transition from the long-lived flintlock system,
handgun development closely paralleled that of the long arms. With
the advent of the revolving pistols, however; came patents that
created monopolies in revolver production and the through-bored
cylinder necessary for self-contained metallic cartridges. The
caplock revolvers took on a separate evolution and remained state
of the art long after the widespread appearance of cartridge firing
rifles and shotguns. They rode in the holsters of of explorers and
adventurers across the world and granted safe conduct in the
back-alleys of the Industrial West right up until the last quarter
of the 19th Century. Handguns possess a mystique distinctly
different from that of other firearms. They are tools of personal
empowerment-chosen by their owners to provide independence and
freedom of movement. In the ambitious, optimistic early years of
western industrial civilization they were the emblem of liberty and
equality and the bane of repressive governments and social
movements. Largely because of the traditions that emerged in the
time of the caplock pistols and revolvers, they remain so in the
early years of the 21st Century."
