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

" Wow! What a fabulous book! I didn't want to put it down. This book does a wonderful job describing the time period and the life of Al Capone. "

" Popular culture has done an injustice to George Johnson and Frank Wilson, the men who had more to do with arresting Al Capone than Eliot Ness ever did. This is a great book for Chicago-lovers, especially when you realize how many Windy City streets and sites you've frequented that were once tainted by Tommy Guns! "

" Enjoyed it learning more about Chicago. Wish I had known this when I lived there. "

" I didn't even get past the first CD. "

" This book gave me more insights and history about Al Capone. I recommended reading it if you like Chicago history or just want to know more about prohibition and the mob. The writing is a little tedious. "

" Well, I think it's great, and my mom does, too. "

" The story as it has never been told. Complete and detailed, intriguing and engaging. "

" Capone was no folk hero. He was preyed on others to enrich himself. The book was a good history of the depression era from the gangster and law enforcement perspetive. "

" Really interesting. Want to take the gangster tour in Chicago now. I learned a lot. "

" Good biography of Al Capone & the Roaring Twenties & the tax evasion charge that brought his downfall. "

" Intriguing, but laborious, review of the tax case against Al Capone. Not a lot of action, but accountants and lawyers will like this. "

" Interesting to learn that Capone was actually jailed for Income Tax evasion, and that his conviction in this manner setup a whole new way for the government to go after certain types of lawbreakers. "

" the book's great! "

" While I enjoyed Eig's biography of Lou Gehrig more than this one, I did like this view into Capone and Chicago. He dispels some of the myths while at the same time keeping you turning the pages. "

" At last, the straight story. Eig strips away all the mythology but even then, Al was larger than life. He used people and was used by people including all those who finally put him away. Justice was served. "

" Fun and interesting. Dragged in some spots, but kept my interest. "

" An intense look into the history of Chicago and a myth-buster in terms of popular folklore about Capone. This is a very well written book. "
