| This updated true story is about the most wanted man in America during the year 1934, Public Enemy Number One....John Dillinger. This is the one of the most accurate book ever written about gangsters of the nineteen twenties and thirties. Special thanks to the kind support of many friends and historians who have generously contributed. After 30 years of serious research and nearly 10 years of writing, "Dillinger, The Hidden Truth," RATED NUMBER 1 ON THE BEST SELLERS LIST. Now available at: www.xlibris.com/dillinger.html There were several criminals in the nineteen thirties far worse than Dillinger, but he would become the FBI's forerunner, the indisputable Harbinger of crime. He became the first man ever to hold the title Public Enemy Number One on the FBI's most wanted list. Other criminals like Machinegun Kelly, Bonnie & Cylde and even Al Capone were also called Public Enemy Number One, but not on the FBI's most wanted list. They were listed as number one outlaws by several police departments, and law enforcement agencies across the country. Criminal's such as Bonnie & Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson were far more dangerous than Dillinger was. Hoover J.Edgar figured Dillinger was just a dumb Hoosier who would be an easy catch, and would help build the FBI's deteriorating Bureau . Besides, Dillinger was making the biggest headlines and Hoover needed the publicity to build the bureau's reputation to gain the respect of the American people.. Dillinger's death would give the Bureau life. Hoover would hang the Dillinger's death mask in the lobby to his office for years as a grim reminder of the event. |
