About this ebook

★★★ The Original Public Enemy of the F.B.I.  ★★★

Before John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson made the term "Public Enemy" famous, there was Alvin Karpis--one of the ruthless leaders of the Barker-Karpis gang.

 It was him that J. Edgar Hoover first thought worthy of the title Public Enemy

In a page-turning style, this true crime book traces his criminal origins from his young days as a bootlegger to his ultimate demise.​

I don't have an in-depth knowledge of the Underworld but I have heard of Ma Barker so I felt like this was an intriguing, informative book. There was just enough information that I and grandsons were fascinated with the story about Alvin Karpis and the Barker Brothers.
