Mr. Capone: The Real and Complete Story of Al Capone

Publié le 28 septembre 1993 par Robert J. Schoenberg

Mr Capone All I ever did was to sell beer and whiskey to our best people. All I ever did was to supply a demand that was pretty popular. Why, the very guys that make my trade good are the ones that yell the loudest about me. Some of the leading judges use the stuff.

When I sell liquor, it's called bootlegging. When my patrons serve it on silver trays on Lake Shore Drive, it's called hospitality. — Al Capone

In 1930 Al Capone was the most famous American alive. Now, the bestselling author of Geneen, the acclaimed biography of ITT founder Harold Geneen, reveals the real Capone and how he ran his operation. Schoenberg's scrupulous research shows that Capone was a man as calculating and brutal as his legend. Photos.
