Customer Reviews

A useful introduction to Cohen's biography.

Lots of interesting information and useful facts about Field Commander Cohen's life and work. Well laid out with plenty of photographs and appendices. The book does not gloss over The Ladies Man pre-recording days, as other related material does.The only criticism is that it is too sycophantic. Best example of this is the awe with which Leonard's university reading list is presented - Everybody Knows students don't read a quarter of the books they should, preferring to lead The Smokey Life instead. But if He's Your Man then it is worth a read.
