Book Review Criteria.png
92KB, 866x551px
Hey /lit/ I need help with some school stuff. My History Professor wants us to write a book review on a history book of our choice.
The book has to
>be about some event in American history from 1877-2000
>single author
>has sources
>written recently
>150-350 pages
>written by a trained historian
The last part is what is really catching me in that a lot of the books I find are from journalists, economists, sociologists, etc. If you guys could point me in the right direction, it would help me out a lot.

He wants it to be more of one event in the period rather than a long period of time. Thanks though

I can find a monograph of any event of importance in that period, but thats a massive period. What do you want to write on?

Overview: Based on FBI and other government files, trial transcripts, and the latest scholarship, this book provides a lively narrative of shootouts, car chases, courtroom clashes, wire tapping and rub-outs in the 1920s, the 1930s, and beyond, acknowledging how the Prohibition generation--Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Dutch Schultz, among others--forever transformed organized crime from loosely associated gangs of the pre-Prohibition era into sophisticated, complex syndicates. It applies a generational perspective to the gangsters who came to power with the Eighteenth Amendment.
