"Eliot Ness the man has been transformed into a mythic figure by the films and television programs that depict the war he and his "Untouchables" waged against Al Capone and the mobsters of Prohibition era Chicago. Ness is depicted as resourceful, courageous, and determined to fight evil.".
"The real Ness is an enigma and the men with whom he worked are little known. This book brings together careful historical analysis and critiques of the Ness films and television programs and examines the relationship between the man and the myth and their influence on the modern American psyche."--BOOK JACKET.
