Produktinformationen zu „The Dillinger Days (ePub)“
A deeply researched account of Depression-era criminals who roamed the Midwest by the Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author.
John Dillinger and his compatriots' crime spree lasted a little over a year in the 1930s and left a trail of bodies in its wake. Dillinger's bank robberies-and his ability to elude both a half-dozen state police forces and the FBI-kept Americans riveted during this bleak economic period.
In this book, the author of the classic The Rising Sun chronicles Dillinger's short criminal career and the exploits of other outlaws of the time . The eminent twentieth-century historian conducted hundreds of interviews and visited banks, jail cells, and other relevant sites in thirty-four states. Leading up to Dillinger's violent death outside a Chicago movie house, this true-crime story is told with great depth and vivid detail.
"This is the famed Dillinger's story, a compendium as well of the murderous doings of compatriots like Ma Barker, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie Parker, the Barrow Brothers, and a host of other hip-shooting, car-stealing bank robbers who made underworld American history in the Depression. . . [A] brutal yet colorful book." -Kirkus Reviews

Autoren-Porträt von John Toland
John Toland (1912-2004) was one of the most respected and widely read historians of the twentieth century, known for writing without analysis or judgment and allowing the characters and their actions to speak for themselves. He was the author of two novels, a memoir, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction, including Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography and The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1936-1945, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1971. Upon its original publication in 1991, In Mortal Combat: Korea, 1950-1953 was hailed by the New York Times for its "panoramic" scope and its skill in presenting "the soldier's-eye view of the war."
