Jonathan Eig – Get Capone

This week is Cubs week and today’s post focuses on one of the Cubs biggest fans – Al Capone.
Author Jonathan Eig has just released his book – Get Capone. A must read for any fan of American culture in the roaring 20’s.
Eig’s book brilliantly debunks many Hollywood myths about the real scarface. Capone did not order the St. Valentines Day massacre. Elliot Ness did not catch the ultimate untouchable single handedly.
The Federal prosecution of Capone on tax evasion charges was a sham. Nobody attended Capone’s funeral in 1947.
Get Capone is a compelling book about Prohibition and the roaring 20’s. Eig’s 400 page novel is a fast read and a reminder that the bad guys of the 20’s were just as bad as the bad guys of today – the neighborhoods just changed.
Ed Kasputis will be interviewing Jonathan Eig on Thursday, May 13th as Jonathan visits Cleveland as part of his national book tour. This interview will be included in our May 14th podcast featuring those lovable Cubs.
