Publisher's Synopsis
In the 1930s, lawmen were at a great disadvantage when it came to enforcing laws and arresting dangerous gangsters. Numerous lawmen were dying due to being outmanned and outgunned. However, a new breed of crimefighter soon appeared, the G-Man. That's the name given to federal agents by the gangsters of the era. Federal agents of the Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) faced danger and death nearly every day. The gangsters had more powerful weapons and faster cars. But these brave G-Men fought the war against crime as best they could. This book, Historic G-Men of the 1930s, tells the stories of these brave federal agents and the battles they won and lost. Read how these men left their families at home to travel the nation fighting crime and criminals. Many of their historic gun battles are told in this book.
