Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34
by Bryan Burrough
picked it up from HMV for six quid.brilliant book interweaving the stories of the depression era bank robbers and criminals...Dillinger,Pretty Boy Floyd,Baby Face Nelson,Bonnie and Clyde and the Barker/Karpis gang.
Tells the story in a chronological way detailing the birth of the FBI and its early abuses of power to the eventual capture of Alvin Karpis and the end of the depression.if you've seen the film and like me been badly disappointed,get this book it will more than make up for it.
