Title: Read this Book!
Product review: I agree with most of the comments. This is definitely the best book written on Al Capone and I've read many of them, including Bergreen's and Kobler's which were also good but this one had something more. Very well written, it shows Capone's strengths and weakness in equal measure. And, where his strengths are concerned, in particular his loyalty. As this book makes clear it was his alliances, his friendships, gained from a reputation of keeping his word and from being loyal, especially as a lieutenant to Johnny Torrio, much more than fear on the part of his enemies, that earned him respect and power. Capone was a natural, very intelligent leader and in a different context might have been a great general, politician or even legitimate businessman!
