Capone would ultimately meet his match in the "untouchable" Eliot Ness of the Prohibition Bureau. The story of how Ness took on Capone and the seedy underworld of Chicago will captivate readers from start to finish. Exceptional photographs and a colorful layout make this high-interest volume a compelling glimpse into a unique time period in US history.
