Podrobné informace

The real story of how the federal government finally apprehended and convicted Americas most notorious criminal, Al Capone.Drawing on recently discovered government documents, wiretap transcripts, and Al Capones handwritten personal letters, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of the nations most infamous criminal in rich new detail.From the moment he arrived in Chicago in 1920, Capone found himself in a world with limitless opportunity. Within a few years Capone controlled an illegal bootlegging business with annual revenue rivaling that of some of the nations largest corporations. Along the way he corrupted the Chicago police force and local courts while becoming one of the worlds first international celebrities. Legend credits Eliot Ness and his Untouchables with apprehending Capone, but Eig shows that this wasnt so. In Get Capone, the man known as Scarface emerges as a complex man, doomed as much by his ego as by his vicious criminality. This is the real Al Capone.
