In "The Vendetta," author Alston Purvis recounts the story of his
father, Melvin Purvis, the iconic G-man and public hero made famous
by his remarkable sweep of the great Public Enemies of the American
Depression--John Dillinger; Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson.
Purvis's successes led FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover to grow
increasingly jealous, to the point where he vowed to bring down
Purvis. Hoover smeared Purvis's reputation, and tried to erase his
name from all records of the FBI's greatest triumphs. This book
sets the record straight, and provides a grippingly authentic new
telling of the gangster era, seen from the perspective of the
pursuers.
