Achieve The Untouchables Imagined By Eliot Ness File Brochure

Ness, the leader of The Untouchables, was truly an American hero! Through his efforts, the crime lord of Chicago, was finally sent to jail for eleven years!

I think this newspaper editorial, is an eloquent summary, of Mr.
Ness's quest to bring down Scarface Al Capone!

"The head of a ring, that has cleaned up nearly a billion dollars in the past ten years, whines as he sees the net closing about him.
The government has charges against him, which, if proved, make Capone liable to,in fines and thirtyfour years in prison,

Capone faces charges of wholesale violation of the liquor laws and evasion of income tax, The government has been building up its case for years by the hardest kind of work and in the face of grave danger to its agents,

One young federal agent getting,a year played a prominent part in getting evidence on Capone, He was threatened, attacked, offered bribes and consistently stalked, yet on he worked, content with his,a year, and his conscience, His name is no secret, Gangsters know it. He is Eliot Ness, graduate of the University of Chicago,

Capone has cause to whimper, His brother, Ralph, is doing a threeyear stretch, His cousin Frank Nitti is in formonths, Jake Guzik, Capone's 'business manager' has been given a fiveyear sentence, Others of the Capone gang face prison terms,

The bigshot turns out to be just a greaseball, He tried his guns against the power of the people, He got away with it for a while but his doom was sealed the minute he started it, "

I just wish his life hadn't been cut so short, Eliot Ness died from a heart attack, at his home, when he was onlyyears old! Nog ééntje uit de enorme pocketverzameling van mijn vader,
Het verhaal van Eliot Ness en zijn strijd tegen de maffiabaas Al Capone, opgetekend door Ness zelf,

Voor ik begon te lezen herinnerde ik me vooral de film The Untouchables van Brian De Palma met Kevin Costner en met de fenomenale vertolking van Sean Connery als

Jimmy Malone.
Die film was zelf gebaseerd op een TVserie, die op haar beurt zou gebaseerd zijn op het verhaal van Ness, dit boek dus,

Het verhaal beperkt zich tot een periode van,jaar, vanaf het moment dat Ness de opdracht krijgt om een groep integere mannen te vormen, de onkreukbaren, tot het moment dat Capone achter de tralies vliegt.


Wat ik interessant vond is dat we hier het verhaal van Ness zelf te lezen krijgen, nog niet bijgewerkt onder invloed van allerlei verfilmingen mijn exemplaar is van.
Ness doet zorgvuldig het verhaal van begin tot einde en zo krijgen we een idee van het huzarenstukje dat zijn onderzoek toch was, Hij houdt strak de chronologie aan en geeft hier en daar een beetje bijkomende informatie zoals bijvoorbeeld de voorgeschiedenis van Capone,

Maar het is allemaal nogal rechttoe rechtaan met korte zinnen en korte hoofdstukken, Ness omschrijft gewoon wat er gebeurde zonder enig gefilosofeer, zonder meningen, zonder nabeschouwingen, Het is net alsof hij zijn verhaal vertelt tussen pot en pint en het dan gewoon zo letterlijk wordt neergeschreven, Zo vertelt hij over de moorden, de zoektocht naar illegale stokerijen en hoe ze die ontmantelen, over de invallen, over de bedreigingen en de pogingen tot omkopingen.


Dat zorgt er wel voor dat er vaart in zit maar het is allemaal nogal oppervlakkig, Over Ness zijn karakter, zijn opinies, zijn andere leven, zijn dromen, zijn ambities, komen we zo goed als niets te weten behalve dat hij verloofd is, Ook alle andere personages met inbegrip van de mensen waar hij intens mee samenwerkt worden nergens uitgewerkt, Sommige personages krijgen niet eens een naam maar worden gewoon met hun roepnaam of koosnaam vermeld,
Verander de “ik” in “hij” en je krijgt gewoon een geschiedkundig verslag over die,jaar,

Och ja, ik zal dit niet gauw zeggen maar in dit geval was het een zegen dat men voor de film het scenario “verhollywoodiaanst” heeft en zich niet strikt aan het verhaal van Ness heeft gehouden.

I may be the only person in the Western Hemisphere to not have seen the movie, 'The Untouchables', Even I'm surprised that I haven't seen more than a minute or two here and there, This type of story is right up my alley why Well, because it's a true story, real history

it takes place I'm sure you know during the Depression and Prohibition in gangster riddled and control Chicago.


It was a great story, These men were exceptionally hard working and dedicated, What they accomplished was truly an amazing feat, I'm going to seek out more books in this,


The story is really amazing, I bought this book because I thought it was about the Indian caste system,
However it's actually an account of the war against organised crime in prohibition era Chicago,
A good read, but a somewhat fictionalised account, sitelink

sitelink I had always wanted to know what it was really like during those times to see how the war was fought by those agents asigned to taking down Copone and his henchmen.
What is also interesting to learn about those times was how much money those special agents were paid by the government compared to how much money Copone and his men were making, the difference is huge.
Great cop and robber book of its time and I can see why each Eliot and his team of men went on to do bigger and better things in their lives.

This book is about Eliot Ness when he was just getting started into the Prohibition Bureau, It started out with him and his friend talking what to do about how to stop all the bootlegging and they came up with ideas, Eliot Ness came up with a great idea and his friend went to the chief and later on, “ Im sorry, I cant do that because the leader of this squad is going to have free handand not even I am going to tell you whom you should choose.
”Eliot Ness,This quote show the first time they made the decision on who is going to be the leader of the team,

I think the Author did a great job with this book because he gave great detail into every plot that was going on in the book.
It make it easily to tell what was going on in the book at the time, I learned how it was like to be an officer during the Prohibition era, There was a few parts in the book I didnt generally like because there wasnt much going on, But all together this was a good book to read,

I would rate this book aout ofbecause it had great detail and a good plot, I would recommend this book to my other police cadets because they would like to know how crime was and how it was like to be an officer during thes.
It shows that gang violence is just has bad now as it was then, it hasn't changed much, .
