Boardwalk Empire The Birth, High Times and the Corruption of Atla by Nelson Johnson
In 1920 alcohol was banned across the US under Prohibition, yet, thanks to racketeers and corrupt politicians, the liquor in Atlantic City never stopped flowing. Enoch 'Nucky' Johnson was a powerful political force and leading figure in organised crime. This book presents Nucky and the whole cast of his shady associates.
Nelson Johnson's family lived in Atlantic County before the city was founded, and he is himself a lifelong resident of Hammonton, New Jersey. He practiced law for 30 years, and was attorney for the Atlantic City Planning Board at the time many applications for the building of the casinos were approved. Fascinated by the complicated history of Atlantic City, Nelson spent almost two decades interviewing, researching and writing to create Boardwalk Empire.
