About This Item

Carbondale, IL: Southern Illinois University Press, 1993. Hardcover. Very good/Very Good. 4to, pp. [8], ix-xiii, 192. Red boards; 12 black and white photos. Personally inscribed and signed by author: "Andy: I hope this book spurs your interest in criminal justice. Best of luck in your studies, Dennis Hoffman." Firm binding; no loose pages. Book and jacket with minimal use and wear. From the dust jacket: "In 'Scarface Al and the Crime Crusaders,' Dennis E. Hoffman presents a fresh, new perspective on the downfall of Al Capone. To debunk the Eliot Ness myth, he shows how a handful of private citizens brought Capone to justice by outsmarting him rather than by outgunning him."
