Chance of a Lifetime - Nucky Johnson, Skinny D'amato And How Atlantic (Paperback)

In her glory days -- from Prohibition to the Jet Age -- Atlantic City was the nation's center of entertainment. Celebrities and tourists flocked to "America's Playground" while political corruption, illegal gambling, bootlegging, and prostitution were all sanctioned as part of the experience. Chance of a Lifetime explores the heyday of this resort -- when real-life excesses strain even the wildest imaginations and outrageous characters made it all happen. It is where American Cool was born, the first home of the Rat Pack and a haven where a down-and-out Frank Sinatra was always welcome -- and never forgot it. This intimate and personal account is told by insider Grace Anselmo D'Amato, and includes a foreword by noted Atlantic City historian Vicki Gold Levi.
