This review is from: Eliot Ness and the Untouchables: The Historical Reality and the Film and Television Depictions (Paperback)
A 202-page paperback ... welcome to a typical McFarland "book."No new information, as the author simply took several earlier books and 'digested' them into this TOTAL waste of money.Who would want to pay ...for a 'work' that consists, primarily, of an episode guide for the tv show?Only TWENTY pages (out of a slim 202) are devoted to Eliot Ness.Then, about 20 more to the "real Al Capone and Frank Nitti."Then, on page 49, this so-called author starts in on movies and tv.So, in sum, if you want information on Eliot Ness, go elsewhere.And, save your $ ...I wish I had.
