The Untouchables

By Eliot Ness.

With Oscar Fraley.

Published by Award Books.

First published 1957.

Description:

Brings to life an era of violence unique in the nation’s history. – The New York Times.

Tremendously exciting. – Cleveland News.

This is the anatomy of a Mafia boss – a scar-faced killer named Al Capone who gripped this nation in his diamond-studded hand in the legendary 1930’s. Capone’s trademarks – the one-way ride, the bullet in the head, the emasculated body in the ditch – still carry the signature of the Mafia.

Al Capone ruled an empire of evil that stole billions of dollars while destroying untold numbers of lives. His discipline murderers collected incredible profits from drugs, gambling and prostitution, making Al Capone the most powerful Mafia boss who ever lived.
