Arthur Winfield Knight

4.9/5 (34014 ratings)

Description:John Dillinger's reign as Public Enemy No. 1 began in the summer of 1933, when he left the Commercial Bank of Dalesville, Indiana, with $1,500 and a diamond ring belonging to the president's daughter. It was the depth of the Depression. Banks were closing everywhere, and millions of Americans were losing their life's savings. To them, Dillinger's act made him a sort of hero, even a modern day Robin Hood. Within the next year, he would go on to rob 10 banks and break out of two jails, one of them theoretically "escape proof".Everything John Dillinger did, whether it was firing a tommy gun or relieving smitten bank tellers of the cash in their vaults, he with style. This is his troy, as told by Dillinger and those who knew him. Brought to life by Arthur Winfield Knight, the voices of the past emerge to vividly recount the renegade's story. Dillinger's associates included the likes of Harry Pierpoint and George "Baby Face" Nelson. And the women in his life were as colourful as the boys in his gang, from the love of his life, Evelyn "Billie" Frechette, to Anna Sage, "the woman in red", who lured him into the FBI sting that resulted in his death on July 22, 1934.Many a man fell on both sides in the effort to capture - and keep imprisoned - the incorrigible Johnnie D. Sixty-five years after Dillinger's death, Knight proves that this story of America's dashing public enemy is still the most charged and gutsy of the 1930s. Dillinger remains the enduring symbol of the gangster era, a gentleman on the wrong side of the law.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
