Description: The public called him "Scarface," the FBI called him "Public Enemy Number One," and his associates called him "Snorky." But Capone is the name most of us remember, and John Kobler's Capone is the ultimate biography of this most brutal and flamboyant of criminal masterminds. Here is Capone's story: his violent childhood in Brooklyn, his lieutenancy to Johnny Torrio, his rise in the ranks of the under-world, the notorious St. Valentine's Day Massacre, his eventual stranglehold over the entire city of Chicago, and his decline during imprisonment at Alcatraz. Capone was the gangster who defined "gangster"-and Capone is his definitive biography, a classic in true crime literature. "A probing study of a consummate gangster and bizarre folk hero... Kobler's book is brilliant." —San Francisco Examiner New Condition!!
