"Deconstructing the Rat Pack: Joey, The Mob and the Summit" is a new look at the true creation of the group of entertainers that rocked the world. For twenty-eight consecutive nights in February 1960, a dusty town called Las Vegas became the epicenter of the world.

Lertzman is a film historian and author. His books include his newest book, "The Dr. Feelgood Casebook" co- authored with William J. Birnes along with Dr. Feelgood, The Life and Times of Mickey Rooney and Beyond Columbo: The Life and Times of Peter Falk. Lon Davis is a film historian, book editor, and author. He was born in upstate New York in 1959. Lon and his wife, Debra, have co-authored six books and have edited more than three hundred academic books on the performing arts. Currently, Lon has partnered with Rick Lertzman to write a series of show-business-related books, including Deconstructing the Rat Pack: Joey, the Mob, and the Summit, and forthcoming volumes on The Three Stooges and Jerry Lewis. https://www.amazon.com/Deconstructing-Rat-Pack-Joey-Summit/dp/1098341619 https://thelifeandtimesofhollywood.com/new-shocking-book-deconstructing-the-rat-pack-joey-the-mob-and-the-summit-how-the-mob-used-frank-friends-to-turn-vegas-into-a-worldwide-destination
