Public Enemies vs J. Edgar Hoover
| Posted on March 16, 2008 at 4:40 AM |
In 2004, Bryan Burrough's published the book, Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34. In an interview with Jeff Tubins he stated that as a kid he grew up listening to stories his dad told of gangsters that ran between Texas and Minnesota robbing banks.
Burrough finds that the lead gangsters of 1933 and 34 were sociopaths. Stealing and killing came naturally, except for John Dillinger. While Bonnie and Clyde, "Pretty Boy" Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson to name a few were sociopaths. Dillinger came from a decent home with loving parents. While robbing banks was his forte', killing was not. He only killed one person during robbery and to him that was done in self-defense.
