It's a wild, illuminating, sometimes shocking tale of sex, ambition, heartaches--and a life lived hard, fast, and without apologies.From the Paperback edition.. He was one of America's favorite entertainers. He rubbed shoulders with the mob, the Kennedys, and Hollywood's biggest stars. But no one really knew him. Now Nick Tosches reveals the man behind the image--the dark side of the American dream. From dealing blackjack in the small-time gangster town of Steubenville, Ohio, to carousing with the famous "Rat Pack" in a Hollywood he called home, Dean Martin lived i
Riveting experience Suellen G. Zimet For anyone with an interest in Dean, Jerry, Frank, the early years, etc., this is the book that makes all others pale in comparison. - Fascinating, packed with just the stuff you always wanted to know about but didn't know who to ask!! beautifully written, literate and then some - what more could you want?. Insincere Balladeer: Tosches' Dino Ornate, pretentious, entertaining and ultimately depressing, Nick Tosches' souped-up take on anti-legend Dean Martin (born Dino Crocetti) is an essential work on an underrated performer. Make no mistake, however: this is a thesis-bound book, and in no way qualifies as adoration, or even respect.Tosches portrays Dino as a virtually schizoid burn-out waiting to happen, a man so distanced from his own humanity that casual sex, hard drinking, and a laissez-faire work ethic are the inevitable results.

Only a handful of showbiz biographers can lay claim to posessing the literary acumen of writers like Michael Holroyd and Peter Ackroyd. Anyone who says it is hard never had to stand on his feet all day dealing blackjack." Nobody could impress Martin. Nick Tosches is one of these writers, and his unauthorized biography of Dean Martin stands as a testament to his genius. . "It's easy work. Tosches' portrait, written only a few years before Martin's death in 1996, depicts its subject as nothing so much as a Zen master without the spiritual anchor; after sampling everything that life had to offer and finding it lacking, Martin spent the last years of his life waiting to die in virtual seclusion. While Frank Sinatra would do anything just to hang out with reputed Mafioso, the Mob would have to make special trips to ask Martin in person to play a show at one of their casinos.
