| | | John Dillinger. Baby Face Nelson. Ma Barker and her boys. Machine Gun Kelly. Bonnie and Clyde. Pretty Boy Floyd. Here is their incredible story.
Annotation:
The career of John Dillinger is chronicled in these pages, along with the outlaw era that saw Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, Ma Barker, and Machine Gun Kelly shoot their way into American history. Toland conducted hundreds of interviews, traveled to 34 states, visited the banks Dillinger robbed, and viewed the jail cells to which he was, at least temporarily, confined.
| PraiseNew York Times Book Review
"America always has had a fondness for turning her criminal cases into happy legends, including John Dillinger...[He] has just run into a roadblock in the form of a careful historian named John Toland. In 'The Dillinger Days' he is pinned down, likely forever, to no more than life size." |
