The St. Valentine's Day Massacre by William J Helmer
The machine-gun murders of seven men on the morning of February 14, 1929, by killers dressed as cops became the gangland crime of the century. Or so the story went. Since then it has been featured in countless histories, biographies, movies, and television specials. 'The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, ' however, is the first book-length treatment of the subject, and it challenges the commonly held assumption that Al Capone ordered the slayings to gain supremacy in the Chicago underworld.
William J. Helmer is the author of The Gun That Made the Twenties Roar and the coauthor of Dillinger: The Untold Story and Baby Face Nelson. He lives in Boerne, Texas. Arthur J. Bilek was chief of the Cook County Sheriff’s Police, a member of the Chicago Crime Commission, and a professor at Loyola University. He lives in Evanston, Illinois.
