bookshelves: gangland
Read in July, 2011

Laden with information, this was a fantastic read. It's divided into three parts: his rise to prominence, his reign at the top, and his fall. The imminent fall is built up throughout much of the latter two parts. It's a bit like Titanic: everyone knows how it ends. The journey to get there is pretty fascinating. If you enjoy true-life crime dramas, this won't disappoint. If your only knowledge of Capone is based on tales of Elliot Ness and the Untouchables, prepare to be schooled.
