Black Gangsters of Chicago

Chicago's   fabled   underworld   is   famous   for   its   high-profile   gangsters   such   as   Al   Capone.   Not   as   publicly   known,   but   perhaps   even more   notorious,   are   the   names   of   "Mushmouth"   Johnson,   Jeff   Fort   and   Larry   Hanover.   These   African-American   gangsters   were every   bit   as   powerful,   intriguing   and   colorful   as   the   Windy   City's   more   famous   white   gangsters.   Now   for   the   first   time,   journalist   Ron Chepesiuk reveals their fascinating stories and that of the many other interesting gangsters from Chicago's black underworld.
