Very detailed account of Dillinger originally written in the '30's and later edited to include further information from research. This book took me a while to get through, but it was very interesting. Lots of footnotes and side explanations provide more information about other gangs of the time, the FBI and theories that were discussed in the papers. Great account of Dillinger's life.
