Title: The real story-not the movie story
Product review: I saw the movie before reading the book and though I enjoyed the Johnny Depp film, the book is incredibly detailed and covers not just Dillinger, but all the Depression era criminals-Bonnie and Clyde, Prett Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, Machine Gun Kelly, and the Barker-Karpis gang from 1933-1934. You also learn that the FBI,a young agency in the infancy of crime fighting, was more like Keystone Kops than today's crime fighters. They constantly fumbled and bumbled their way through two years of missed opportunities for capturing and arresting bank robbers and kidnappers. A great historical account that puts you in the center of the action. Well researched with access to previosuly unreleased material it is one of the most fascianting and readable books you can get on a bloody era of American history.
