Al Capone and Eliot Ness: Rivals During Prohibition

By Lindsey Lowe

The era of Prohibition was unlike any other in U.S. history. Though alcohol was illegal, crime syndicates began making and selling it--and the U.S. government tried to take action against them. In this engaging volume, readers encounter the most famous feud of this era: crime boss Al Capone and the "untouchable" Eliot Ness of the Prohibition Bureau. Containing both biographical information as well as historical context, this book is a great complement to social studies curricula about the era. Historical photographs introduce these interesting historical characters and complement the achievable main text.
