Frank Vincent

These days, it's harder than ever to know how to act like a real man. We're not talking about the touchy-feely, ultra-sensitive, emotion-sharing, not-afraid-to-cry version of manhood that Oprah and Dr. Phil have been spouting for years. We're talking about the though, smart, confident, charming, classy, all-around good fella that upholds the true ideal of what is known as -a man's man.- Now, renowned actor and true-life man's man Frank Vincent, famed for his unforgettable tough-guy roles in such classic films as Raging Bull, Goodfellas and HBO's The Sopranos, is going to show how any man can be all that he can be in love, work, play, and life. Everything you need to know is covered here, including, getting the best women by being the best man, dressing like a champ and taking on the world, winning big money and big respect in Las Vegas, selecting, smoking, and savoring a great cigar, and much more. If you want to learn how to be a man's man, you gotta learn from a man's man. And with the great Frank Vincent vouching for you, you'll be on your way to getting everything you ever wanted outta life.

Growing up in the working-class waterfront suburb of Port Melbourne, Frank Vincent became aware very early of the impact of social and economic inequality. He went on to become a successful barrister practising in criminal law before being appointed to the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.Throughout his career, which included a lengthy period as Parole Board Chair, he never lost his concern for victims and the marginalised in our society, especially its indigenous members. Yet this memoir is no hagiography. With modesty and wit, Vincent notes his own human fallibility and frailties, and writes with modesty and humour. *** "Frank Vincent's memoirs illustrate why lawyers would enter courts to hear him speak - firstly as a barrister in murder trials, then as a Supreme Court Justice.His story is told with grace and humour, pointing out his closest brush to physical danger was from a cream sponge he felt was about to be thrown by a prisoner on learning his parole application was rejected.This book gives a rare insight into our court system from a master practitioner. For more than 50 years Frank was a champion of the people - this book shows he remains a champion bloke."- John Silvester
