  Dean 'Dino' Martin was the Rat Pack singer and actor who is perhaps more respected since his death than at any time during his lifetime. This extraordinary renaissance is detailed in Michael Freedland's biography of the man the world knew as the eternal essence of cool. Martin, son of Italian immigrants, was the consummate professional who pretended to be lazy. The book dispels myths about his personal life and career, and for the first time, reveals his links with the Mob. There are new interviews with people who have never spoken about Dino before, including his former wife, his daughter and his former comedy partner Jerry.
