Overview

De ‘oorlog om alle oorlogen te beëindigen’ was voorbij, maar een nieuwe begon net – in de straten van Amerika. Alleen al in één grote stad – Chicago – hadden zich halverwege de jaren twintig naar schatting 1.300 bendes als een dodelijk virus verspreid. In 1926 vonden er in heel Amerika jaarlijks ruim 12.000 moorden plaats. Met de smokkel en speakeasies zagen de 'Roaring Twenties' ook bankovervallen, ontvoeringen, autodiefstallen, gokken en drugshandel steeds vaker voorkomende misdaden worden. Sommige gangsters, misschien wel het meest in het bijzonder Al Capone, zijn berucht geworden. In 2003 is het vijftig jaar geleden dat Al Capone overleed. Capone liet vervolgens een blijvende indruk achter op de westerse cultuur: de Amerikaanse gangster.

Overview

The "war to end all wars" was over, but a new one was just beginning - on the streets of America. In one big city alone - Chicago - an estimated 1,300 gangs had spread like a deadly virus by the mid-1920s. By 1926, more than 12,000 murders were taking place every year across America. With the bootlegging and speakeasies the "Roaring Twenties" also saw bank robbery, kidnapping, auto theft, gambling, and drug trafficking become increasingly common crimes. Some gangsters, perhaps most notably Al Capone, have become infamous. 2003 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Al Capone. Capone went on to leave a lasting impression on western culture - the American Gangster.
