Gangsters: From the Case Files of People and Daily Mirror

by Claire Welch, Ian Welch

Gangsters takes a compelling look at the dark underbelly of society where bootlegging, robbery, crime sprees, threats and corruption were part of everyday life. Throughout all levels of society, the activities of gangsters was rife and many of those involved in organized crime also had long-standing connections with those in authority across banking, finance, businesses, government departments, the legal system and police. The fact that these organized criminals became part of the modern cult of celebrity while their crimes became notable is fascinating and incredible.

The content is good, but the writing needs work. A lot of needless repetition, as if the author pasted research notes together, without giving the chapters flow. Neither do the chapters flow together.
