Through rigorous research and exclusive access to Capone’s family, Deirdre Bair cuts through the mythology, uncovering a complex character who was flawed and cruel but also capable of nobility. At once intimate and iconoclastic, Al Capone gives us the definitive account of a quintessentially American figure. / Desde los años treinta, el cine de gángsters que ha que- rido retratar a Al Capone lo ha presentado siempre del mismo modo: como un monstruo sin escrúpulos que diri- gía una organización de salvajes, y que al final cayó gra- cias a la tenacidad de Eliot Ness y sus Intocables. Los biógrafos hace tiempo que derribaron el mito de Eliot Ness, un funcionario que no tuvo nada que ver con la detención de Capone. El presente estudio de Deirdre Bair socava el otro mito, el que dice que Al Capone era un psicópata sediento de sangre, y nos presenta a un perso- naje complejo, despiadado para los negocios, humano y sensible para los asuntos familiares, que abrió comedo- res sociales durante la Depresión y que, a diferencia de los mafiosos de Nueva York, ni siquiera era racista.
