Roemer [is] America's most decorated FBI agent.\"\n--Chicago Tribune\nFor forty years Tony Accardo was America's most dangerous criminal. He cut his teeth on the Chicago mob wars of Capone and Elliot Ness. He got his nickname \"Joe Batters\" for killing two men with a baseball bat. As the bodies piled up, Capone's youngest capo murdered and schemed his way to the top.\nWilliam Roemer was the first FBI agent to face Tony \"The Big Tuna\" Accardo. Now, Roemer tells the story that only he could tell: the deals, the hits, the double-crosses, and the power plays that reached from the Windy City to Hollywood and to New York. Drawing on secret wiretaps and inside information, ACCARDO chronicles bloodshed and mayhem for more than six decades--as Roemer duels against the most powerful don of them all. . . .\n\"Roemer brings the reality of organized crime home to us.\"\n--Boston Herald\n\"A big, sprawled out account that serves as anecdotal history of organized crime.\"\n--Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0804114641\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0804114641.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Roemer Jr., William F.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass market paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Mass market paperback in GOOD condition with normal wear from use.
