Author : Steven Hart

"Boardwalk Empire" fans who are going
into withdrawal over the end of the latest season can learn the facts behind
the fiction from journalist and freelance writer Steven Hart, who will talk
about his new book American Dictators: Frank Hague, Nucky Johnson, and the
Perfection of the Urban Political Machine.  Hart's book is a dual biography of Frank
Hague, the Hudson County boss whose power intimidated even Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, and Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, who ruled Atlantic City during
its gaudy heyday in the Roaring Twenties. "A smartly written chronicle
studded with serio-comic vignettes, a narrative of greed and violence, and the
thorough research of an author who clearly relishes his subject." (Jonathan
E. Lazarus, The Star-Ledger). Hart will sell and sign copies of this book as
well as his other titles, including The Last Three Miles, his widely
praised account of the Pulaski Skyway labor war. For more information about the
