Murder City The Bloody History Of Chicago In The Twenties Michael Lesy by Michael Lesy 9780393060300, 0393060306 instant download after payment.

A close-up look at Chicago during the 1920s offers a fascinating portrait of a crime-ridden city that became the murder capital of the United States during the era of the Jazz Age and critically analyzes the repercussions of Chicago's criminal and violent past on the events of the present day.
"Things began as they
usually did: Someone shot someone else." So begins a chapter of Michael
Lesy's disturbingly satisfying account of Chicago in the 1920s, the
epicenter of murder in America. A city where daily newspapers fell over
each other to cover the latest mayhem. A city where professionals and
amateurs alike snuffed one another out, and often for the most banal of
reasons, such as wanting a Packard twin-six. Men killing men, men
killing women, women killing men--crimes of loot and love. Just as Lesy's
first book, Wisconsin Death Trip, subverted the accepted notion of the Gay Nineties, so Murder City
gives us the dark side of the Jazz Age. Lesy's sharp, fearless
storytelling makes a compelling case that this collection of criminals
may be the progenitors of our modern age.
