Dillinger's Wild Ride

Dillinger's Wild Ride provides a riveting account of the year between 1933 and 1934, when the Dillinger gang pulled over a dozen bank jobs and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars. As Dillinger's wild year unfolded, the tale grew larger and larger in newspapers and newsreels, and even today, Dillinger is the subject of pulp literature, serious poetry and fiction, and film. Indeed, his story has much to tell us about our enduring fascination with outlaws, crime and violence, and about the great changes in American life during the Great Depression.
