In the throes of the Depression, America's heartland lay under siege to gangsters. When John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson slipped through the police barricade at Little Bohemia, Wisconsin, in 1934, Herbert Hoover picked a former missionary from Preston, Idaho, to lead the government assault on Chicago-are gangs: Sam Cowley. one after another, Cowley's men brought down Pretty Boy Floyd on a lonely highway, trapped John Dillinger outside Chicago's Biograph theater, and shot up the Ma Barker gang. Cowley finally caught up with public enemy no. 1, Baby face Nelson, at Barrington, Illinois, where Cowley and Nelso empted their machine guns in a blazing shootout. Here is a window on Sam Cowley's life - his selfless patriotism, courage, and leadership. Listening to this book, you'll come to know a friend and a hero worthy of the title "A hero for the ages." And you'll have one blazing story worth telling around the campfire.
