Perhaps no city has a more fabled past than Chicago, home of
legendary Al Capone. But that fabled past is often portrayed
separate from the surrounding web of social realities, without
which no event, no period in time can be understood. Historic
Photos of Chicago Crime: The Capone Era addresses this
problem by opening with a compelling look at Chicago's cityscape to
include a broad range of cultural phenomena—from suffrage to
jazz—essential to the contextualization of crime in the 1920s and
1930s. The history then proceeds as its title suggests—to a
riveting overview of crime in Chicago, chock-full of images
documenting notorious gangsters and gruesome gangland wars. Al
Capone, John Torrio, Earl "Hymie" Weiss, George "Bugs" Moran, and a
host of others are all here. Replete with insightful captions and
penetrating chapter introductions by historian John Russick, these
photos offer a unique view into Chicago and its nefarious past.
