Book Overview
The passage of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1920 ushered in the era of Prohibition. It also induced many crime syndicates to produce and distribute alcohol. It was during this time that the infamous crime boss Al Capone rose to power through violence, cunning, and widespread bribery of government officials. Capone would ultimately meet his match in the untouchable Eliot Ness of the Prohibition Bureau. The story of how Ness took on Capone and the seedy underworld of Chicago will captivate readers from start to finish. Exceptional photographs and a colorful layout make this high-interest volume a compelling glimpse into a unique time period in US history.
