"An excellent book on john Dillinger and the times he lived (and died!)Though Gangsters are not Toland's forte (he specialized on WW2) he did a great deal of research. He was able to interview many of the policemen, convicts, and women who knew Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, the Barker Gang, etc..
As the title suggests, most of the book focuses on Public Enemy Number One with some mention of the Barker-Karpis gangs and Machine Gun Kelly. Boonie adn Clyde are barely discussed.
In some ways he does a better (an in a shorter space) job than what Geoff Buroughs did quite well his 2004 (Supposedly the basis of the new film starring Johnny Depp).
Toland does not paint a flattering view of Dillinger (he was a thief from his childhood and participated in a gang rape of a young girl. However. you neverthess find much to like about Dillinger's drive and usual professionalism in robbing banks (when compared to amateur losers such as Bonnie and Clyde. The last 100 pages are rivetting and though you know it will all end in front of the Biograph on that hot July evening, you can't stop reading.
To learn more about the individual DILLINGER gang members try King's THE DILLINGER GANG (Which I am currently reading)"
"This is a very good account of Dillinger & others of his type from the 1920's - 30's. Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie & Clyde, Ma Barker & more have their careers & deaths described. There are some B&W pictures, too. I really got a feel for the era & why these people were both 'Public Enemies' & heroes."
