Download or read book John Dillinger written by Dary Matera and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2005-05-20 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Dillinger is an adrenaline-fueled narrative that reignites America's fascination with the suave and deadly desperado who became the FBI's first Public Enemy, whose story—until now—has been riddled with rumors and fiction. Dillinger and his bank-robbing gang cut a criminal swath never to be equaled, thrilling a nation in the throes of the Great Depression. When caught, Dillinger staged one of the most harrowing prison escapes imaginable—only to finally be betrayed by the infamous "Lady in Red." John Dillinger brings to light bank robberies never before reported; detailed plans for major crimes that Dillinger nearly implemented; the revelation that the Lady in Red was actually a police plant; and the startling motives behind John Dillinger's execution by rogue FBI agents. With access to the thousands of sources collected in the world's foremost Dillinger archives—including dozens of photographs—New York Times bestselling author Matera describes every robbery, shoot-out, and prison escape as though he had choreographed them himself.

Book Synopsis "Evil People" by : Johannes Dillinger
Download or read book "Evil People" written by Johannes Dillinger and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by recent efforts to understand the dynamics of the early modern witch hunt, Johannes Dillinger has produced a powerful synthesis based on careful comparisons. Narrowing his focus to two specific regions—Swabian Austria and the Electorate of Trier—he provides a nuanced explanation of how the tensions between state power and communalism determined the course of witch hunts that claimed over 1,300 lives in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Germany. Dillinger finds that, far from representing the centralizing aggression of emerging early states against local cultures, witch hunts were almost always driven by members of the middling and lower classes in cities and villages, and they were stopped only when early modern states acquired the power to control their localities. Situating his study in the context of a pervasive magical worldview that embraced both orthodox Christianity and folk belief, Dillinger shows that, in some cases, witch trials themselves were used as magical instruments, designed to avert threats of impending divine wrath. "Evil People" describes a two-century evolution in which witch hunters who liberally bestowed the label "evil people" on others turned into modern images of evil themselves. In the original German, "Evil People" won the Friedrich Spee Award as an outstanding contribution to the history of witchcraft.

Download or read book Defending the Dillinger Gang written by D.M. Testa and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1930s women practicing criminal law were often held in the same low regard as the clients they served. When a corrupt prosecutor was determined to send as many of the notorious John Dillinger gang to death row as possible, female attorneys Jessie Levy and Bess Robbins rose to the challenge. They skillfully represented six of the gang members, a number far greater than any of their male counterparts. And yet, their story of deals gone bad, wrongful convictions and success against the odds has all but vanished from history. The recent discovery of interviews, personal correspondence, and court transcripts--a treasure trove untouched for over 80 years--forms the basis for this book, which traces the careers of Jessie Levy, Bess Robbins and the John Dillinger gang in detail for the first time.

Book Synopsis Hoosier Public Enemy by : John Beineke
Download or read book Hoosier Public Enemy written by John Beineke and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the bleak days of the Great Depression, news of economic hardship often took a backseat to articles on the exploits of an outlaw from Indiana—John Dillinger. For a period of fourteen months during 1933 and 1934 Dillinger became the most famous bandit in American history, and no criminal since has matched him for his celebrity and notoriety. Dillinger won public attention not only for his robberies, but his many escapes from the law. The escapes he made from jails or “tight spots,” when it seemed law officials had him cornered, became the stuff of legends. While the public would never admit that they wanted the “bad guy” to win, many could not help but root for the man who appeared to be an underdog. Although his crime wave took place in the last century, the name Dillinger has never left the public imagination

The Resurrection of John Dillinger is a novel based on the last spring of Dillinger's life, between that prison escape and the firefight at Little Bohemia. The story opens on Easter Saturday 1934, when federal agents trapped Dillinger and Billie Frechette in a Saint Paul apartment. Dillinger is wounded but recovers after help from Saint Paul gangsters and a Minneapolis doctor. The novel also follows the two historical characters who helped Dillinger hide out after his Indiana jailbreak. In helping Dillinger, those two, Bess Green and Patrick Reilly, are in far more trouble than they can handle. Bess will become one of the key informers of the Public Enemies era. Patrick will narrowly escape at Little Bohemia, and loyal to the underworld, will pay dearly for his silence. The Resurrection of John Dillinger is the fifth and final book in a series of historically-accurate novels about the gangster era.
