This is a wonderful book that talks about the gangsters of the 1930s in St. Paul, Minnesota. You are not limited to only John Dillinger but you also get to find out about the Barker Gang and Alvin Karpis and their escapades in the Twin Cities. You find out that the city that you thought was this quiet, boring place was full of crime, gangsters and crooked cops. This is a fascinating read and I recommend this to any one who wants to find out more about gangsters and what part they played in Minnesota's history.

"Paul Maccabee's John Dillinger Slept Here is not just one of the best books ever written about Minneapolis-St. Paul, it is one of the best books of local history I have ever read -- about any city anywhere on Earth. While writing `Public Enemies' I kept it on my desk at all times. I daresay one cannot call himself a real Minnesotan if you haven't read it. The book is just that darned good." --Bryan Burrough, author of Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and Birth of the FBI, 1933-34,the basis for Public Enemies, the movie starring Johnny Depp This book is based on more than 100,000 pages of FBI files and wiretaps, prison and police records, and mob confessions. Interviews with 250 crime victims, policemen, gun molls, and family members of criminals bring these public enemies to life. Crime historian Paul Maccabee takes you inside the bank robberies, gangland assassinations, and police intrigue of St. Paul's 1920s and1930s gangster era. You'll also find Crooks' Tour maps and more than 130 rare FBI, police, and family photographs. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
