Alphonse "Al" Capone was the tough and scar-faced immigrant boy who was the undisputed boss of Chicago by the time he was 30, controlling a bandit gang that raked in $100 million a year from bootlegging, gambling, prostitution and protection money. In his era-roughly 1925 to 1931-there were 418 gang killing in Chicago and he himself traveled through town in an armor-plated limousine that weighed seven tons. Originally published in 1929 in the author's larger "Rattling the Cup on Chicago Crime," this paperback edition explores Capone's notorious domination of organized crime in Chicago in the 1920s.
