The Contemporary Capone
This is the place to start when it comes to Al Capone. Written at the height of Capone's glory as America's most famous and successful mobster, and when he was widely viewed as he saw himself--as a successful businessman. You can't get a much fresher look at Al than this.

Al Capone
Unless you area Gang member from Chicago and grew up in the 1920's. I thin gyou will have a hard time keeping track of the lingo on this book. Does anyone know what a blind-pigger, a blackhander, or a ward heeler is? if you do let me know because i looked and have no idea. The book does give alot of information about Capone. I did like that, but could only understand...

This review is from: Al Capone: The Biography of a Self-Made Man (Kessinger Publishing's Rare Reprints) (Paperback)
Unless you area Gang member from Chicago and grew up in the 1920's. I thin gyou will have a hard time keeping track of the lingo on this book. Does anyone know what a blind-pigger, a blackhander, or a ward heeler is? if you do let me know because i looked and have no idea. The book does give alot of information about Capone. I did like that, but could only understand about half the book.So unless you are a 1920 chicago gangmember I wouldn't waist to much time on this book.
