*Getting a head start*

Al Capone

Al Capone is America's best known gangster and the single greatest symbol of the collapse of law and order in the United States during the 1920s Prohibition era. Capone had a leading role in the illegal activities that lent Chicago its reputation as a lawless city.

Cool.

Yeah it's interesting, real gorey things happened back in the twenties, then again I guess taking someones booze away would put their knickers in a twist yeah?

*shrugs* I don't know. Some people manage to give it up on their own. Though I suppose having it forcibly taken away wouldn't go over too well.

*looks through some of the other books* Anything more contemporary?

Cotemporary? Hmmm, not sure really, all I could find was books about the twenties and a couple of things on mobsters in England.
