Description
In all the tales of John Dillinger, the name Herbert Youngblood has been given short shrift or completely ignored. No more, the author D. Gordon Franks grew up in town where Youngblood met his demise. The author's family owned the bar and whorehouse where the shoot out occurred after several bank robberies. It culminated in the sheriff being wounded, the under-sheriff being killed and another deputy wounded, and a cousin of the author shot as well. Dillinger came upon the gun battle staged on his behalf.
Youngblood was wounded and taken to the hospital where he was tortured and castrated. This sprawling epic spans several decades including the '20s and '30s-'40s and '50s. If public enemies, bank-robbery, torture, murder, rape, voodoo, lynching, and prohibition bother you, don't bother with this book. America's fist public enemy breaks out of an escape proof jail, surrounded by the police and national guard without firing a single shot.
The young Black man responsible for carving the gun was and integral part and participant to the escape was in jail on a murder charge that was really self-defense. These two men shared a two-month long friendship that lasted beyond the grave.
They knew the secret of J. Edgar Hoover being gay. Find out what really happened at the slaying of Dillinger at the Biograph Theater in Chicago. What part did a future Nazi doctor at the death camps perform? This the story the FBI wants left untold.
