DILLINGER, The Hidden Truth
A Tribute to Gangsters and G-Men of the Great Depression Era
by 7ony Stewart
Stewart's book Dillinger, The Hidden Truth, is a historical tribute to the gangsters and G-men of the Great Depression Era. The book takes an inside look at both sides of the story. This is the largest most accurate and detailed account written, and contains over fifty photographs, some of which, are very rare and unpublished. The author focuses primarily on the authenticity of the era, uprooting the mythology printed over the years. Written about the early nineteen hundreds crimes and corruption on both sides of the law. "The line between the good guys and bad guys was narrow, if not indistinguishable"...7ony Stewart
According to the author, "John Dillinger was the biggest name in the bank-robbing business during the year 1934. His reputation would triumph, and soar upward to become a giant in his trade. Fourteen months later, he would skid to a stop, in a tragic bloody end of a dark Chicago alley. Dillinger participated in three gangs, he robbed twelve banks, escaped from two jails, raided three Police Departments, escaped several Police and FBI traps, and helped to mastermind the biggest jailbreak in history from the Indiana State Penitentiary at Michigan City."
Good book! With a complete reference section, including many new indisputable facts about Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde, the Barker-Karpis gang, and Al Capone, secretively hidden from the public for over six decades.
Includes interviews with eyewitness accounts of survivors, thousands of Police and FBI files, rare newspapers and magazine articles, court transcripts, birth and death records, autopsy results, Obituaries, School enumeration records, Genealogy reports, countless documentaries and travels across the U.S. map to many historical sites.
In addition, there are fascinating stories behind the walls of Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. The book steps back into the Rip-roaring days of the Great Depression when bullets flew and bad guys fell, disregarding the years of FBI fairy tales, the cold-blooded truth is finally revealed.
Look into the deep dark secrets of the FBI, which still haunts the Bureau today. Were criminals like John Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde, and Pretty Boy Floyd as bad as they were made out to be, or just victims of the times? Take an inside look at all the facts like never before.
Plus, the only interview ever given to 7ony Stewart by John Dillinger's wife, Beryl Ethel Hovious, who describes the man she married not the outlaw the FBI buried. If you haven't read Dillinger, The Hidden Truth, you haven't heard the whole story.

"J. Edgar Hoover ignored the Mafia to ruthlessly exterminate easier targets--celebrity bandits like Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Bonnie and Clyde--check out Tony Stewart's Dillinger, the Hidden Truth. Moves with the fast pace of a stolen Ford V8 to the staccato bark of a Tommy gun!"
Rick Mattix - co-author, Public Enemies, America's Criminal Past, 1919-1940 and Thompson, the American Legend: The First Submachine Gun
"In this new work John Dillinger is researched to the insight never before researched. I have a lot of respect for anyone who takes the time, patience, and discipline to research and then write a book on any subject, let alone a subject as complicated as the life of John Dillinger. This new insight and information that Mr. Stewart has written is a refreshing and new look at the famous John Dillinger. This is recommended reading, before the lights go out on the final chapter of John Dillinger. This is the final chapter."
