Iorizzo Chroniques et points de vue Book Description For more than 70 years, Al Capone has been equated with wealth, violence, and corruption. As America's most infamous criminal, he has intrigued, attracted, and repulsed the general public with his legendary criminal deeds. This concise biography separates the myth from the man. The Life and Times of Al Capone de Tom Stockdale Al Capone and the Roaring Twenties Chroniques et points de vue From School Library Journal Grade 6-8-In contrast to other titles in this series, Al Capone tends to focus more on the times than on the man, cursorily covering such topics as jazz, the Florida land boom, Marcus Garvey, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. This approach offers a broad overview and nice perspective from an unbiased point of view, but also makes it more difficult to follow the life of the gangster himself. Within one particular chapter, the narrative shifts from gang operations in Cicero, to the Model T, and then to vacuum cleaners, before returning to Capone. Still, important information is here, supplemented by black-and-white photographs and some particularly interesting Web-site references. For report writing, students will find more in-depth information on the era elsewhere, but the introduction to organized crime makes this a worthy addition to most collections. Andrew Medlar, Chicago Public Library, IL Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description Reared in an atmosphere of violence and corruption, it is easy to see how Alphonse Capone was destined for a life of crime. Capone raised organized crime to a new level of sophistication, turning the city of Chicago upside down in the process. How did he get away with it? At the heart of these biographies are the stories, not only of infamous individuals, but also of our past. Each title weaves the complex events of an era around the life story of an important historical figure.

Himself Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight: Cassius Clay Vs. the United States of America de Muhammad Ali (Préface), Howard Bingham ,Max Wallace Chroniques et points de vue From Library Journal Here, Bingham (Muhammad Ali: A Thirty-Year Journey), Muhammad Ali's best friend and favorite photographer, contends that the former heavyweight champ's greatest legacy is that, owing to his conversion to the Nation of Islam and subsequent refusal to enter the military during the Vietnam War, Ali served as a touchstone for the racial and antiwar upheavals that rocked the Sixties and changed our country. Bingham offers a friendly portrayal of the conscientious objector/Black Muslim minister Ali but doesn't beyond a shadow of a doubt answer the question of whether his motives for evading the draft were self-serving, racial, or religious--though it is easy to imagine that at the least they might have evolved from the former to the latter. One cannot deny Ali's influence on his times, though. And neither can one deny that, whatever his motives for refusing military service, he paid a great price by being banned from boxing for three and a half years during his prime. While not ""The Greatest,"" as its subject proclaimed himself, Bingham's book deserves a place in the sports collections of most public libraries. With a foreword by Ali himself, this book ably supplements the Hauser and Remnick biographies. -Jim G. Burns, Ottumwa P.L., IA Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight is a behind-the-scenes acount of this battle as told by a genuine insider--Ali's closest friend, photographer Howard Bingham.
