In many books and films about Alfonso Capone, aka Al Brown, aka Snorky, aka Al “Scarface”, there is more fiction than truth. The “King of the Gangsters” occupied the “throne” for only six years, but is still one of the hundred most influential people in the United States. The structure of the criminal syndicate he created is being studied by students at Harvard Business School, and lawyers are studying the example of his trial. The poor considered him America's Robin Hood, and the government declared him "public enemy number one." Capone challenged politicians - and supported corruption; eluded the police - but only because he supported them; led a criminal organization that protected the underground trade in alcohol and the sale of milk, gambling houses and brothels, horse and greyhound racing, and received a prison sentence for tax evasion. Chic, charming, generous, fearless, Al was the idol of youth. He easily got along with people, loved to communicate with journalists, who contributed to his transformation into a legend. Why did she turn out to be so tenacious and what was the world famous gangster really like? Ekaterina Glagoleva offers her version in the most complete biography of Alya Capone in Russian to date.
