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

4.0

I read this before I knew a movie with the same title and premise was coming out. I thought it did a much better job than the movie explaining the relationship between all of the mobsters we have heard about that ran in the 1930s. It mostly stuck around the Chicago area with the big mobsters there (Capone, Dillinger, etc.). It might deserve a re-read at some point when I can sit down and really pay attention to the time line, but it was still interesting.
