In King Cohn: The Life and Times of Hollywood Mogul Harry Cohn, acclaimed biographer Bob Thomas explores the enigmatic life of Harry Cohn, cofounder and president of Columbia Pictures.

Thomas chronicles Cohn's journey from a New York City song-plugger to a powerful Hollywood figure during the golden era of the studio system.
