"In Get Capone, Jonathan Eig gives us a fresh portait of the most wanted of most wanteds, laced with newly unearthed details -- including hitherto secret IRS files and federal wiretaps -- that Eig deploys to build a taut and compelling narrative of the gangster's life and the federal drive to end his reign." -- Erik Larson, author. "Get Capone is a masterful biography, a scrupulously researched history of a pivotal time in America, and a page-turning crime story that thunders ahead like the very best of novels. Using never-before-published research, Eig conjures to life not only America's most famous gangster but the streets of Chicago. You can see and hear Capone walking through the wind-blown pages of history, straight at you. Get Capone is for anyone who wants to be enthralled, entertained, and enlightened." -- Doug Stanton, author. "Get Capone is narrative history at its finest. It is deeply reported, fun and fast to read, and thrillingly evokes gangland Chicago and its most infamous gangster while shattering myths all along the way." -- David Maraniss, author. "I thought I knew the Capone story, but Eig's riveting telling of this iconic American story is both fresh and utterly dazzling. An extraordinarily rich panorama of America in the 1920s, Get Capone brings our most notorious anti-hero vividly to life, masterfully interweaving the epic tale of his rise and fall with the equally fascinating stories of the politicians, lawmen, gangsters, and reporters who inhabited his world." -- Ken Burns. "Drawing on thousands of pages of recently discovered government documents, wiretap transcripts, and Al Capone's handwritten personal letters, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of the nation's most notorious criminal in rich new detail. From the moment he arrived in Chicago in 1920, Capone found himself in a world of limitless opportunity. He was an impetuous, affable young man of average intelligence, ill prepared for fame and fortune, whose most notable characteristic was his scarred left cheek. Yet within a few years, Capone controlled an illegal bootlegging business with annual revenue rivaling that of some of the nation's largest corporations. Along the way he corrupted the Chicago police force and local courts while becoming one of the world's first international celebrities. A furious President Herbert Hoover insisted that Capone be brought to justice because the criminal was making a mockery of federal law. Legend credits Eliot Ness and his "Untouchables" with apprehending Capone. But it was the U.S. attorney in Chicago and little-known agents working on direct orders from the White House who compromised their ethics -- and risked their lives -- to get their man. The most infamous crime attributed to Capone was the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, a crime tha Capone insisted he didn't commit. Using newly discovered FBI records, Eig offers a surprising explanation for the murders. Get Capone explores every aspect of the man called "Scarface," paying particular attention to the myths that have for so long surrounded and obscured him. Capone emerges as a worldly, emotionally complex man, doomed as much by his ego as by his vicious criminality. This is the real Al Capone." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids (desperately). Growing up in the Deep South, where she was "home-schooled for hippie reasons," she looked online to find her tribe. The Internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth-finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world. Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930's detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea how "uncool" she really was. But if it hadn't been for her strange background-the awkwardness continued when she started college at sixteen, with Mom driving her to campus every day-she might never have had the naive confidence to forge her own path. Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided to create her own web series before people in show business understood that online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers.Felicia's rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Ever candid, she opens up about the rough patches along the way, recounting battles with writer's block, a full-blown gaming addiction, severe anxiety, and depression-and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming. ; Showcasing Felicia's "engaging and often hilarious voice" (USA TODAY), ; You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now-even for a digital misfit. --Source: Publisher ; Kathryn Felicia Day is an American actress, singer, writer, and web series creator.
