DUTCH SCHULTZ (Original title: 'The Dutch Schultz Story')

Paperback. In an age of murderous gangsters, the Dutchman shot his way to the top. It took the Mafia to bring him down. Murderer, bootlegger, racketeer and double-crosser, Dutch Schultz was universally hated. Even his contemporaries - Mad Dog Coll and Legs Diamond - tried to fit him for a cement overcoat. Vicious and unpredictable, the Dutchman was basically a loner. Backed by a small army of assassins, he shot his way to the top of the newly-formed crime syndicate. But he left a trail of corpses along the way and earned a brief funeral - compliments of Murder, Inc. Illus. 172pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned pp., colour faded sp., small price label to fr. cover, but no creasing to covers. Vg.
