CAPONE The Life and World of Al Capone.

Hardback. Book Club Edn. The definitive biography of America's most notorious gangster.

Today Al Capone is remembered as the most brutal and flamboyant of the underground kings - the prototype of the gangster. The author has written an intimate, dramatic, in-depth story of Capone, re-creating both his private and public life, as well as the world in which he lived. Illus., Appendix, Sources and Index. 416pp. 8vo. h/back. No dw. but with the 'blurb' parts pasted to pds, covers marked (see images), contents sound. G. only.
