Burrough cuts through the hollywood fantasy to tell the real story of the Feds 'war on crime" from 1933-35. The rise to national prominence of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI into a highly sophistictaed national police force, the hunt for John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, V8 Fords, blazing tommyguns, it's all here.
