From the dark corners of organized crime to the corridors of political power, in his No. 1 Best Seller on Amazon’s True Crime new releases list, author Eric Dezenhall uncovers the shadowy connections between criminal syndicates and the American presidency. Drawing from newly released government records and intimate conversations with prominent mobsters, Dezenhall joins The Mob Museum to reveal how unlikely alliances between wiseguys and commanders-in-chief have shaped nearly a century of American history. This program will focus specifically on how sitting presidents—such as John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan—navigated relationships with organized crime during their time in office. Dezenhall will discuss how the line between the underworld and the Oval Office has often been thinner than history books suggest.

A book signing will follow the program.
