This book is about George Remus, a well-known bootlegging Kingpin during the Prohibition Era. I was familiar with the name from the Boardwalk Empire book and television show, but I didn't really know much about the actual man. Remus seems like he was a very interesting character. This also goes into detail about his relationships, both romantically and legally, with some formidable women. I really enjoy Karen Abbott's work. I believe that this is the second book of hers that I have read. I thought it was well researched and very informative. I hope to read more of her work.
