WAYNE FRYE INTRODUCES YOU UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL TO SOME OF THE FAMOUS AND NOT SO FAMOUS OUTLAWS FROM THE ROARING 20'S AND 30'S. LITTLE KNOWN DETAILS ARE FERRETED OUT TO MAKE THEM MORE HUMAN, AND IN SOME CASES, LESS HUMAN. WITH FRYE'S BONE CHILLING RECOUNTING OF EVENTS, THIS NON-FICTION BOOK READS LIKE A FICTION NOVEL, PUTTING YOU RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION. YOU ALMOST FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO DODGE BULLETS IN CHAPTER AFTER CHAPTER. HIS RE-CREATION OF THE KANSAS CITY MASSACRE AND THE MERCHANT'S NATIONAL BANK ROBBERY ARE SPINE-TINGLING AND MESMERIZING. AS ALWAYS WITH A FRYE WORK, DEEP PROBING SOCIAL COMMENTARY IS AT THE CORE OF WHAT HE SEES AS THE PROBLEM WITH AMERICA THEN AND NOW THAT CREATES CONDITIONS THAT MAKE SOME PEOPLE LASH OUT AT AUTHORITY.
