Get Capone: The Secret Plot That Captured America's Most Wanted Gangster
- Used Book in Good Condition
The real story of how the federal government finally apprehended and convicted Americaâ€™s most notorious criminal, Al Capone.

Drawing on recently discovered government documents, wiretap transcripts, and Al Caponeâ€™s handwritten personal letters, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of the nationâ€™s most infamous criminal in rich new detail.

From the moment he arrived in Chicago in 1920, Capone found himself in a world with limitless opportunity. Within a few years Capone controlled an illegal bootlegging business with annual revenue rivaling that of some of the nationâ€™s largest corporations. Along the way he corrupted the Chicago police force and local courts while becoming one of the worldâ€™s first international celebrities. Legend credits Eliot Ness and his â€œUntouchablesâ€ with apprehending Capone, but Eig shows that this wasnâ€™t so. In Get Capone, the man known as â€œScarfaceâ€ emerges as a complex man, doomed as much by his ego as by his vicious criminality. This is the real Al Capone.
