<<I want to know if there all any authors that have
written books about Capone, Nitti, Duch and the
others.>>
Not exactly <<about>> them, but a very large
portion of my book WET DEBT was set in the early 1930s,
revolving around the gangs in both Chicago and Kansas City.
Frank Nitti played an important role, in a section describing
how he was shot up pretty badly when the police led by a
couple of officers named Lang and Miller invaded his office
on LaSalle Street. Also discussed the somewhat forgotten role
that Ted Newberry played in the Chicago gangs of the early
'30s, and how much of the corruption was facilitated by Mayor
Cermak, who had very close connections with Newberry.
The research was lots of fun. R
