Publisher Description
Be the FBI Agent in training under J. Edgar Hoover and run the gauntlet of Machine Gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson and the Barker Karpis Gang. Step back into downtown Chicago of the 1930s and retrace the steps of some of America's most notorious mobsters.
True Stories from the Files of the FBI was written by W. Cleon Skousen under the direct supervision of Mr. Hoover himself. These first-hand accounts of actual "do or die" situations were used for decades to train thousands of FBI agents.
In this riveting retelling of "G-men" arresting or killing perpetrators of the country's most violent crimes, learn how the investigations led to clues for the Charles Lindbergh kidnapping case, the Kansas City Massacre, the raids by John Herbert Dillinger and his gang, "Killer" Kinnie Wagner's murder spree, and more.

This book is a treasure. From the foreword of tasking us to clean up America to how Hoover ran then FBI was perfect. I loved the stories about Killer Kinnie Wagner, Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger and the Charles Lindbergh Kidnapping. It book is a must read for anyone who wants to know how the FBI ran in the 1930s.
