Summary

Arriving in Chicago in 1920, Al Capone was an impetuous, affable young man of average intelligence. Within a few years he built a booming bootlegging business, corrupted the local police and courts, and became an international celebrity. Drawing on recently discovered documents, wiretap transcripts, and Capone's handwritten letters, Jonathan Eig tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of the nation's most notorious criminal in rich new detail
