Expose of crime in Las Vegas, Nevada.
John Horvat, dealer of games to dealer of fortunes. John, a struggling twenty-one dealer, becomes a multimillionaire and says, “I guarantee that you can do it, too, if you apply my formula to your life and use a dog-eared copy of this book to keep your dream alive.” His motivation has nothing to do with personal gain. It has to do with passing to you what he’s been privileged to learn. He says, “It’s my duty as a Christian.” He struggled through different jobs—served a tour in the military, failed in small businesses, has a bad marriage, and worked for a few years as a twenty-one dealer. John fought his way out of the green felt jungle and shares his escape route with you.
A 2015 Michael L. Printz Honor Book Winner of the 2014 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction "Raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling." --Rolling Stone “Grasshopper Jungle is simultaneously creepy and hilarious. Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut’s in “Slaughterhouse Five,” in the best sense.” --New York Times Book Review In the small town of Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend, Robby, have accidentally unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things. This is the truth. This is history. It’s the end of the world. And nobody knows anything about it. You know what I mean. Funny, intense, complex, and brave, Grasshopper Jungle brilliantly weaves together everything from testicle-dissolving genetically modified corn to the struggles of recession-era, small-town America in this groundbreaking coming-of-age stunner.
This long out-of-print book is reprinted here because in Chapter 30 entitled "Trumping Up the Boardwalk," starting on page 379, it reveals the compromises President-Elect Donald Trump made and had to make with the Mafia that was in control of Atlantic City to get his foot in the door. It reveals how Trump was able to use his connections to get in control of Atlantic City casinos without putting in a dime of his own money. These reports have been recently confirmed by The New York Times. It also reveals why Trump had to keep his strange alliance with the obviously corrupt Governor of the State of New Jersey. "I've said it before and I will repeat it again to organized crime. Keep your filthy hands off of Atlantic City! Keep the Hell out of our state." New Jersey Governor, June 2, 1977 (the date he signed the Casino Control Act) This warning was in vain. Powerful crime families were already muscling their way into Atlantic City. Their methods were extortion, bribery and when necessary murder. Atlantic City became The Boardwalk Jungle. Acclaimed Journalist and author Ovid Demaris, the man who revealed Las Vegas to the world in The Green Felt Jungle, now gives us the shocking true story of how Atlantic City went from seaside haven to Mafia Mecca. From licensing hearings to wiretapped conversations, from the governors office to the gambling tables, the author names names and shows us the chilling truth of how greed money and terror conquered a state. Here you will learn the inside the inside story behind each casino - Resorts International, Caesars Boardwalk Regency, Bally Park Place, Playboy/Atlantas, Harrah's, Tropicana, Sands, Claridge, Trump Plaza and the Trump Castle. As the glittering extravaganzas shot skyward, the rest of the city withered to a slum, overrun by loan sharks, thieves and prostitutes. The Boardwalk became a billion dollar capital of crime as bad if not worse than Las Vegas.
