THE DILLINGER DAYS
Book ID/图书代码： 02330014B75574
English Summary/英文概要： For thirteen violent months in the 1930s, John Dillinger and his gang swept through the Midwest. The criminals of the Depression robbed almost at will (the Indiana State Police had only 41 members, including clerks and typists). Dillinger’s daring escapes-single-handed at Crown Point jail or through the withering machine gun fire of FBI agents at Little Bohemia Lodge-and his countless bank robberies excited the imagination of a despondent country. He eluded the lawmen of a half-dozen states and the growing power of the FBI, earning him the dubious honor of Public Enemy Number One and captivating Americans to the present day. His brief but significant career is vividly chronicled here in extraordinary detail, as is the entire outlaw era of Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, Ma Barker, and Machine Gun Kelly. The author conducted hundreds of interviews; his research took him through thirty-four states, into the cells where Dillinger was confined, and into every bank he robbed. The Dillinger Days is the inside account of a desperate and determined war between the law and the lawless, a struggle that did not end until a unique set of circumstances led to Dillinger’s bloody death outside a Chicago movie house.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 上世纪美国三十年代时期轰动一时持续了十三个月的暴力事件，约翰尼•德普曾在电影《公众之敌》中演绎过这位美国曾经家喻户晓的银行抢劫犯，约翰•迪林杰和他的黑帮团伙曾席卷了美国中西部的各家银行。而美国经济大萧条时期背景下的这些犯罪抢劫几乎随处在上演（当时的印第安纳州的警察局只有41名探员，其中包括文职人员和打字员）。迪林杰一人就之身从印第安纳州的克朗角监狱出逃，即便是在最后岁月，他也单枪匹马地在小波西米亚旅馆和联邦探员交火，而他无数次的银行抢劫案也激发了一个颓靡国家的想象力。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：In the late sixties, when the popularity of "Bonnie and Clyde" at the box office ushered in a renewed interest in the period, this book was a compelling, concise account of a period when some of history’s most ruthless criminals became cult heroes. From Machine Gun Kelley and John Dillinger to the Barrows and Pretty Boy Floyd, the Depression spawned its own brand of anti-heroes, placing them forever in a crude infamy of greed and murder. Toland is an excellent storyteller of the War era and plies his trade to new levels in this book. A highly recommended read to anyone interested in the period or exploits of some of American history’s criminal element.
