When a spectacular crime wave in the 1930’s led the U.S. president to declare a federal "war on crime," the resulting manhunts, shootouts and blaring headlines transformed the fledgling FBI into an effective crime-fighting agency.
Bryan Burrough discusses his book "Public Enemies," which chronicles the infamous gangsters of that era and the FBI agents who tracked them down. Actors Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard and Christian Bale will star in the movie adaptation of the book, which opens in theaters in July.
Burrough is a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal and author of three other books, including "Barbarians at the Gate."
A book signing will follow the program.
The event was moderated by Sonya Gavankar, from the Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
