Meyer Lansky - the man who changed the face of American crime
Meyer Lansky, or the Mafia's accountant. A man who contributed to the development of the National Syndicate and the American Mafia. According to accounts, we can assume that without him, American crime (primarily Italian-Jewish) would not have achieved the status it did in the last century. Today, we will discuss his participation in World War II, the rescue of Lucky Luciano, and, above all, his Cuban business dealings.
