|  | Capone by Laurence Bergreen, Michael Kramer
Al Capone reached a pinnacle of celebrity that modern-day upstarts like John Gotti can only dream about. Going behind the myths and movie portrayals, Bergreen introduces Capone as he really was--a cold-blooded killer who saw himself as a modern-day Robin Hood. Bergreen creates an unequaled portrait of prohibition-era America. Includes 16-page photo insert. AUTHOR: Laurence Bergreen, Michael Kramer
