All the varieties of power - star, political, sexual, criminal and emotional - are on show in this definitive, untold story of Frank Sinatra and the Mafia.Drawing on an enormous archive of previously unseen records held by international law agencies, the FBI, the CIA and big-city police departments, Rothmiller and Thompson reveal Sinatra's pact with the Mob in shocking detail.With additional evidence from decades of investigations and testimony, they expose Sinatra's lifelong association with the Mafia, which he always denied, and its deadly collateral damage.This revelatory showstopper is a wild dance made coherent by intelligent choreography. Sinatra may not have been an actual made man, but the Mafia certainly made him.-Praise for Bombshell: 'Reads like a James Ellroy novel', Mick Brown, Daily Telegraph
