I am the author of 18 non-fiction books. My newest book is Backbeat Gangsters: The Rise and Decline of the Mob in Rock Music. The book covers the mob's involvement in rock music, beginning in the 1950s and going right up to the present. It deals with the careers of several badly treated and cheated performers, numerous gangsters, the role of drugs, the theft of copyrights, and greedy manipulative hands hiding in shadows. It has been acclaimed by famed mob writer, Nicolas Pileggi, author of the books Wiseguys and Casino and co-author of the movies Goodfellas and Casino. It is available as a hardback and on Kindle, as are all my previous books. It was preceded by Tinseltown Gangsters: The Rise and Decline of the Mob in Hollywood, a fast-paced, gripping account about how organized crime controlled much of the movie industry over the last hundred years. The book reveals, in startling detail, the grip that members of the national crime syndicate had on the careers of some of the most important directors, agents, stars, and studio heads. It, too,. is available as a hardback and in Kindle Prior to the publication of Tinseltown Gangsters, I wrote the best selling book, Sin City Gangsters: The Rise and Decline of he Mob in Las Vegas. The book won plaudits from famed mob author Nicholas Pileggi, who wrote Goodfellas and Casino. That was preceded by my book, Big Apple Gangsters: The Rise and Decline of the Mob in New York, which is available as a paperback and a hardback. It has received numerous positive reviews, beginning with Publishers Weekly and followed by one in The New Yorker. A year earlier, I wrote Holocaust Fighters: Boxers Resisters, and Avengers, a unique of history of gladiatorial combat in Nazi concentration camps. I did numerous lectures at Holocaust centers and museums throughout the United States. My book, Boxing and the Mob: The Notorious History of the Sweet Science, in addition to being available as a hardback and on Kindle, is available as an audio book. Both the book and audio have received numerous positive reviews in magazines and newspapers throughout the United States and Europe. Rocky Graziano: Fists, Fame, and Fortune is the only complete biography of the great middleweight boxer, taking him from his poverty-stricken delinquent childhood to professional thief and to the middleweight boxing championship of the world, which was followed by years as a beloved celebrity and philanthropist. My book, Max Baer and Barney Ross: Jewish Heroes of Boxing is being made into a movie, which will begin filming in late 2024. I also wrote No Mere Bagatelles, a biography of handbag designer, Judith Leiber. Power Promoting: How to Market Your Business to The Top! is based on a marketing course I taught at university for 12 years. There are dozens of interviews on YouTube about all the books I have written. Please go to YouTube and write Jeffrey Sussman Author in the subject line. Thank you. In addition to writing books, I am the president of Jeffrey Sussman Inc, a marketing public-relations firm, which represents authors, publishers, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and professionals.
