I'm reading Little Man, about Meyer Lansky. I appreciate it because it's a history book about the Eisenhower era (and the post WW1 era as well, there's a significant attention to detail about Rothstein as well). The book is about one ethnic group, rather it's about Meyer Lansky and who he was: the myth vs reality.

It's my opinion that Lansky operated effectively as a Costello family capo.
