Book Reviews of Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34
Book Review: Well done.
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes Mr. Burrough made a few mistakes with addresses and name spellings but overall I was impressed with how he made all the information flow together so well. This was a huge task to take on and I was surprised how good of a job was done. I did have to dock a star due to the amount Mr. Burrough relied on Alvin Karpis's word for word retelling of events that happened so long ago- it gives the book a bit of a fiction feel to it at times. Overall this was a very good read.
