He reveals the story of the six millionaire businessmen, dubbed the Secret Six, who beat Al Capone at his own game, ending the gangster era as Prohibition was repealed. He also details the story of an intriguing woman, Sally Rand, who embodied the ideals of the World's Fair with her own rags-to-riches story and brought sex into the open, as well as the story of Rufus and Charles Dawes, who gave the fair a theme and found financing during the worst economic times the country had ever experienced." -- Book jacket. 611 20 $a Century of Progress International Exposition $d (1933-1934 : $c Chicago, Ill.) 600 10 $a Capone, Al, $d 1899-1947. 611 27 $a Century of Progress International Exposition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01405740 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x Civilization $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204048 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hazelgrove, William Elliott, 1959- author. $t Al Capone and the 1933 World's Fair $d Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2017] $z 9781442272279 $w (DLC) 2017023717 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015055.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107052106.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20171122011450.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=55A383ECC38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
