The follow-up to author James Kaplan’s brilliant 2010 Frank: The Voice, Sinatra: The Chairman is so juicy you might need a napkin while reading it. The first book delineated Sinatra’s meteoric rise, with fascinating asides about his mother, the all-powerful Hudson County politico Dolly Sinatra who not only performed neighborhood abortions but operated a speakeasy during prohibition. This second book unmasks her only son as the monster he became, all the while still creating the kind of art—be it cinematic or musical—that people will digest a hundred years from now.
