The Dillinger Gang: Raising Hell in the Heartland
Jeffery S. King
The Dillinger Gang highlights the lives and careers of the nine major members of the Dillinger Gang: John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Homer Van Meter, Eddie Green, Harry Pierpont, Charley Makley, Russell Lee Clark, John Hamilton, and Thomas Carroll. While full-length biographies have been written about Dillinger and Nelson, there are no major biographies of the other gang members. Utilizing FBI files, court records, prison records, local newspapers, and books as sources, King provides insight into crime in the 1920s and early 1930s.
