Title: Reads faster than the bullets spitting from Clyde's Tommy Gun
Product review: Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34One blurb says Burrough brings you so close to the times that you can smell the unwashed Bonnie and Clyde. He's right. I dont know if Burrough correctly assesses each and every bandit and G-man, and each of the key sheriff's, molls, witnesses, etc., but the contemporary primary evidence the book is based on appears to back him up. And the author accomplishes the miracle of throwing in the kitchen sink without dragging down the narrative. This has more bullets fired than any action movie, and its a whole lot more engaging. Yeah, wish I had written this one.
