Know about the book -

Dillinger's Wild Ride is written by Elliott J. Gorn and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0199839972 (ISBN 10) and 9780199839971 (ISBN 13).

Here is a riveting account of the year between 1933 and 1934, when the Dillinger gang pulled over a dozen bank jobs, and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars. A dozen men--police, FBI agents, gangsters, and civilians--lost their lives in the rampage, and American newspapers breathlessly followed every shooting and jail-break. Gorn illuminates the significance of Dillinger's tremendous fame and the endurance of his legacy, arguing that he represented an American fascination with primitive freedom against social convention.
