It is a shrewd and masterly portrait of a type which has too often escaped the literary camera. The author gives us the inside dope on the mental make-up of the master urban bootlegger and as a background has provided a panoramic view of the Volstead area - Chicago, with its noisy turbulence, its ubiquitous machine gun, its rococo gangster funerals, its purple boudoirs, its grimy jails - a picture that reveals in swift, bold strokes the origins of a catastrophic disorder" (from front flap).
