It comes out in September in “American Scoundrel – The Dark Journey of Roy Cohn, by Joe McCarthy to “. Due to the author, Kay Bird, and the character, it has everything to be a great book.
Bird wrote the Robert Oppenheimer saga that served as the basis for the film about the father of the American atomic bomb. Earlier, he had written “The Chairman”, a biography of John McCloy (1895-1989), the son of a hairdresser, who became the incarnation of America’s upstairs. Lawyer and banker, he was an advisor to all presidents, including Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. McCloy passed through Pindorama at the end of February 1964, defending the interests of the mining company Hanna, and met President João Goulart.
Roy Cohn’s dark journey began in 1952. As a prosecutor, he sent a couple accused of spying for the Soviet Union to the electric chair. Hence, he became the damned soul of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s investigations. (On his team was the young Robert Kennedy.)
After McCarthy’s ruin, Cohn submerged, practicing law in New York. Playing hard, with a frightening appearance, given by a pair of blue eyes and a huge scar on his nose, he got involved in extortion and ended up losing his license to practice law. Among his clients were mobsters, priests and real estate tycoons. Among them, Donald Trump, who made Cohn a kind of tutor, with daily phone calls. Trump pleased him by presenting him with a Bulgari diamond cufflink (fake).
Cohn died at age 59, from cancer (according to him) and complications from AIDS (according to medical records). The last person he spoke to on the phone was Donald Trump.
