Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the Fbi, 1933-34 by Bryan Burrough

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I like history books in general and really like ones about true crime. This book covers the bank robbers and outlaws of the 30's, and how they lead to the need for an agency like the FBI. It goes very in depth on people like John Dillinger, Babyface Nelson and Alvin Karpis, and a little less so on Bonnie and Clyde, and others like Machine Gun Kelly and Pretty Boy Floyd.
