I grew up with THE UNTOUCHABLES in my very early childhood -- the TV series starring Robert Stack. Later, when I discovered the book, I loved it too. I've read it several times find it enjoyable every time I open it.

As a fan of the "Spellbound Studios" that are at the moment producing the computer game "Chicago 1930"(most important characters: Eliot Ness, Al Capone, Frank Nitti) I read this book. I never expected that it would be so good ! It's one of the best books I ever read, especially because of the exciting story and the characters. There are also parts in it that describe important events of that time(e.g. even the rise of "Scarface" Al Capone). If you're only a little bit interested in this time, you should buy this book.

An incredible book!!
8. September 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I loved this book so much, I couldn't put it down and finished it in one afternoon. It's an exciting walk through the events and police actions during the Prohibition. The elect group of men, given the title and later widely known as the "Untouchables" wouldn't be bribed, bought, or stopped until Al Capone went down. Although many dangers surrounded them, they were persistent in their fight to see Chicago clean of illegal alcohol and Al Capone behind bars. I wish that everyone could read this book. This remarkable piece of history isn't appreciated nearly as much as it should be. Don't expect what you watched in the movie - it isn't cheesy at all. The movie, in a word, sucked. I expected the book to be just as hokey, and was definitely surprised to find it was way better! It's an awesome novel that is unfortunately hard to find now. The legend of Eliot Ness and his men and their incredible bravery is something that, I hope, will never be forgotten. Give this book a shot. I promise you will enjoy it much more than the movie.

Great Book - Better then fiction
1. August 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
CHICAGO, 1929: A multi-million-dollar ring of vice, gambling and liquor, ruled by a scar-faced Mafia overlord named AI Capone. Pay-offs, mass murder, and the "kiss of death" were the daily routine-despite 3,000 police and 300 Federal agents. Then a 26-year-old agent, Eliot Ness, began a private war against the most notorious criminal genius who ever lived. This is the thrilling true story of how he did it, with a small group of hand-picked men who proved themselves beyond bribery or bullets-the story that inspired a landmark television series and now a major motion picture. But no one tells it with the stark, brutal details, the authentic, spellbinding force of the man who won his awesome battle against the Mob-the legendary Eliot Ness.

Excellent
29. September 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Some have complained that this book is fiction. I am ashamed of the people who said that Eliot Ness was an old drunk who captured a few beer stills. They obviously didn't read the book. Eliot Ness told sportswriter Oscar Fraley that he didn't want any fiction but Fraley convinced Ness that fiction was needed. This describes the life of Eliot Ness in Chicago. One must look at this through an eye of skeptiscm. But this is truly excellent reading. Most of it is true but the estimates that Ness and Fraley made are somewhat exagerrated. But otherwise this is a story which will entice your senses and will make you so thankful you weren't a mobster in the 30's
