What is Mr. Capone : real and complete story of Al Capone about?

In 1930 Al Capone was arguably the most famous American alive--both here and abroad. Today, forty-five years after his death, his name recognition is still the envy of any celebrity or presidential candidate. Few men have achieved such notoriety, but who was the man behind the legends? Now, in Mr. Capone, Robert J. Schoenberg shows us, for the first time, the real Al Capone--where he came from, how he moved to the top rank of organized crime, and how he ran "the outfit." The portrait that emerges is certainly of a calculating and at times brutal man, but also one of surprising wit and charm. Capone was a rational man who built his bootlegging empire with guns but who managed it with a "genius for organization," a businessman of crime. Schoenberg reveals new information about Capone's adolescent delinquency and gang membership in pre-World War I Brooklyn. Capone then served his apprenticeship in organized crime to Brooklyn bar owner and. Racketeer Frankie Yale, while getting into scrapes on the Brooklyn waterfront and acquiring his famous scars. When Capone left Brooklyn for Chicago, he thought it was only a temporary move arranged by his boss to avoid the wrath of one Bill Lovett.
