A man verses the federal government, a classic showdown between Italian mobsters and your “everyday-Joes.” Readers get a detailed look at Capone’s rise to leadership side-by-side with Ness’ carefully handpicked team of investigators and agents that worked to take down Capone’s operations. Both individuals have ironic endings but left lasting impressions on history. Great historical photos litter each page, and the ending timeline has students looking at history from 1920-1939. A short reader like this can spark a student’s interest in other famous criminals. Pgs. 48, sc. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Al Capone and Eliot Ness: Rivals During Prohibition (History's Famous Feuds)
The era of Prohibition was unlike any other in U.S. history. Though
alcohol was illegal, crime syndicates began making and selling it—and
the U.S. government tried to take action against them. In this engaging
volume, readers encounter the most famous feud of this era: crime boss
Al Capone and the “untouchable” Eliot Ness of the Prohibition Bureau.
Containing both biographical information as well as historical context,
this book is a great complement to social studies curricula about the
era. Historical photographs introduce these interesting historical
characters and complement the achievable main text.
Category Description for History's Famous Feuds
What a fun way to introduce nonfiction reading to students. There is something interesting about feuds—we want to know more about the conflict and how it was resolved. With each book, readers get stats on each person to get to know some biographical information about each opponent. The stage is set with some contextual information, then each page spread dives a little deeper into the conflict and then resurfaces into resolution. Wonderful, historic photographs are included throughout the text. Each book is equipped with a glossary that can be used for vocabulary for spelling lessons. Further Resources are also available to go deeper into history study. These can make great additional reads for a time era or a biographical study. ~Rebecca
