Get Capone: The Secret Plot That Captured American's Most Wanted Gangster

Based on newly released government documents and wiretaps, Get Capone tells the story how the nation's most-wanted criminal was really caught. This book gets beyond the myth to portray the real Capone, using the gangster's own jailhouse letters and interviews with relatives. Ken Burns calls Eig's book "fresh and utterly dazzling." David Maraniss labels it "narrative history at its finest." Publishers weekly calls it a "page-turning narrative" and gives it a starred review.
