But few are aware that Capones remarkable story began in the Navy Yard section of Brooklyn, New York. Tutored by the likes of infamous mobsters Johnny Torrio and Frankie Yale, young Capones disquieting demeanor, combined with the technical advice he learned from these insidious pedagogues, contributed to the molding of a brutal criminal whose pseudonym, Scarface, evoked fascination throughout the world.<br /> <br /> Despite the best efforts of previous biographers lacking true insiders access, details about Capones early years have, until now, mostly been shrouded in mystery. With access gained through invaluable familial connections, the authors were able to open the previously sealed mouths of Capones known living associates. Collecting information through these interviews and never-before-published documents, the life of young Al Capone at last comes into focus.<br /> <br /> Among the many revelations in <em>Young Al Capone</em> are new details about the brutal Halloween Night murder of rival gangster Wild Bill Lovett, grisly details on how Capone and his Black Hand crew cleverly planned the shootout and barbaric hatchet slaying of White Hand boss, Richard Peg Leg Lonergan, insight into the dramatic incident that forced Capone to leave New York, and much more. 02 The first biography of Capone to focus on his youth in Brooklyn and the events that shaped him into one of historys most notorious... 08 “Starred Review.

Highly recommended for those interested in criminology and the psychology of crime.” 08 “With insider facts and spare narrative, the authors show us not only how Capone got his scarred face; they deliver a scathing portrait of a power-mad predator coming up through the criminal ranks.” 04 03 72 01 http://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/resources/titles/60239100766610/images/60239100766610L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/resources/titles/60239100766610/images/60239100766610S.jpg http://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/book/?GCOI=60239100766610 Skyhorse Publishing 01 Skyhorse Publishing US 04 20110301 02 AG AI AN AR AS AU AW BB BM BO BR BS BZ CL CN CO CR CU DM DO EC FK GD GF GP GT GU GY HK HN HT ID JM JP KH KN KR KY LA LC MM MP MQ MS MX MY NI NZ PA PE PH PR PY SG SR SV TC TH TT TW US UY VC VE VG VI VN 03 ROW 01 0.928266 in 02 0.639018 in 03 0.119865 in National Book Company, Inc. http://www.wwnorton.com 02 WORLD AD AE AF AG AI AL AM AO CC AT AU AW AZ BA BB BD BE BF BG BH BI BJ BN BT RS BW BY CA CX AQ CF CG CH CI CK CM CU CV GS CY CZ DE DJ DK DM DZ EE EG EH ER ES ES ET FI FJ FK FM FO FR GA GB GB GB GD GE GF GH GI GL GM GN GQ GR IO GW GY KP HR HT HU IE IL IN MO IQ IR IS IT JM JO KE KG KI KM KN KW KY KZ LB LC LI LK LR LS LT LU LV LY MA MC MD MG MH UM ML MM MN YT MQ MR MS MT MU MV MW MZ NA NC NE NF NG NL NL NO NP NR NU OM PA PF PF PG PG PK PL PM PN PT PW QA RE RO RU RU RW SA SB SC SD SE SH SI SJ SK SL SM SN SO SR ST SY SZ TC TD BL TG TJ TK TM TN TO TR TT TV TZ UA UG UZ VA VC VG VU WF WS YE IM ZA ZM ZW ZW 02 Y 31 24 01 24.95 USD
