Scarface Al and the Crime Crusaders

According to the Elliot Ness myth, Ness and the Untouchables defeated Al Capone by marshalling superior firepower. In Scarface Al and the Crime Crusaders, Dennis 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.
