George "Machine Gun" Kelly: The Complete Story of His Life, Crimes, & Death

Those who knew George Kelly as a child would not have believed that he would go on to earn the nickname “Machine Gun” for an assortment of sordid crimes and misdeeds. Kelly grew up in a thriving middle-class home at a time when others were fighting to survive the Great Depression. As a youngster, he wanted for nothing. On the other hand, Kelly needed money and power in a way that his staid upbringing wouldn’t allow. By the time he hit high school, Kelly was deep into a life of crime that would make him one of the most notorious gangsters in America and attract the attention of J. Edgar Hoover himself. This new biography introduces you to the real Kelly and his less-than-savory acquaintances. With the help of his headstrong wife, Kathryn, Kelly planned one of the biggest crimes of the decade. Kelly lived life on the edge, and the subsequent manhunt made him infamous. While author Bart L. Largent details Kelly’s shocking life, he also turns his attention to the tenacious lawmen who swore to bring Kelly in. Witness the true battle of wits between the gangster and the unrelenting detectives on his trail!
