Narrated by Dick Hill

Acclaimed journalist and best-selling author Jonathan Eig blows the lid
off the Al Capone story. Based on never-before-seen government documents
and newly discovered letters written by Al Capone himself, Get Capone
presents America's greatest gangster as you.ve never seen him before.

In addition to IRS files, Eig got hold of the personal papers of the U.S.
attorney in Chicago who prosecuted Capone. He even found family members who
would share stories about their notorious relative. The author, a former
reporter for the Wall Street Journal, brings his uncompromising standards
for research and his superb knack for storytelling to one of the most
thrilling stories in American history. This eye-opening biography reveals
that Capone was the target of one of the most intense criminal
investigations in American history - with orders coming directly from the
White House. Capone flaunted his criminal success so openly that President
Hoover insisted the gangster be stopped. And, despite his many misdeeds,
Capone may have been the victim of a rigged trial.

Get Capone also offers a bold new theory to explain the Valentine's Day
Massacre and sheds new light on Capone's connection - or lack thereof -
to the crime.
