Synopsis
In this brilliant history of Prohibition and its most notorious gangster, acclaimed biographer Laurence Bergreen takes us to the gritty streets of Chicago where Al Capone forged his sinister empire. Bergreen shows the seedy and glamorous sides of the age, the rise of Prohibition, the illicit liquor trade, the battlefield that was Chicago. Delving beyond the Capone mythology. Bergreen finds a paradox: a coldblooded killer, thief, pimp, and racketeer who was also a devoted son and father; a self-styled Robin Hood who rose to the top of organized crime. Capone is a masterful portrait of an extraordinary time and of the one man who reigned supreme over it all, Al Capone., In this brilliant history of Prohibition and its most notorious gangster, acclaimed biographer Laurence Bergreen takes us to the gritty streets of Chicago where Al Capone forged his sinister empire.Bergreen shows the seedy and glamorous sides of the age, the rise of Prohibition, the illicit liquor trade, the battlefield that was Chicago.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePackaging was very inadequate for a heavy ceramic sink. Less than 1/2 inch foam on bottom of the box. Top packaging material was placed haphazardly in box. Box was not strong enough for this type of item. It was box sink is sold in but should not be shipped in. I was a little suspect that item was broken before it was shipped. The one good thing was the quick refund of my money. It was just more of a waste of my time.
