Investigating the way Hollywood scoops up notorious criminals and
turns them into legends, this entertaining who's-who guide provides
thumbnail sketches of such killers as Ma Barker, Black Beard, Al
Capone, John Wesley Hardin, and Charles Starkweather. Noting that
some figures are glamorized in popular culture (Jesse James), while
others are demonized (Charles Manson), this encyclopedic collection
explores the legends' emotional truths as depicted in movies,
stories, and songs. Facts of the real cases behind these notorious
criminals are also presented, including the landmark rulings that
pioneered new approaches to criminal justice.
