Eliot Ness by Douglas Perry
The story of Eliot Ness, the legendary lawman who led The Untouchables, took on Al Capone and saved a city's soul. As leader of an unprecedented crime-busting squad, 28 year old Eliot Ness won fame for taking on notorious mobster Al Capone. But the Untouchables' daring raids were only the beginning of Ness's unlikely story. Capturing the first complete portrait of the real Eliot Ness, Perry brings to life an unorthodox man who believed in the integrity of law and the power of American justice.Douglas Perry is a multi-award-winning writer and editor whose work has appeared in magazines such as the Chicago Tribune, Chicago magazine, The Oregonian, Tennis, and others. He has written two nonfiction books and collaborated on another. Perry's The Daughters of Murder City has been described as a sexy, swaggering historical story by the Wall Street Journal. According to the Christian Science Monitor, his biography of Eliot Ness is erudite, authoritative, and full of challenges to the established system.
