In 1986, more people watched “The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vault” than the Superbowl. More people watched the two-hour live event than David Frost’s interview with Richard Nixon. Both events were high-wire, high-reward, high-disaster broadcasts. Geraldo Rivera had been fired from ABC after fifteen years and the live broadcast from Chicago of Al Capone’s vault was to be his comeback. On April 21, 1986, at nine fifteen Eastern, Geraldo gave the signal at the midpoint of the show to blow open the subterranean vault with dynamite and reveal to the world the great secrets of Al Capone...

Imagine a valley so pristine it is the envy of all places near it. Complete with soft rolling hills, clear-water brooks, thermal springs, lakes for water sports, and crystal mines for discovering quartz, plus the only diamond mine in America. It was so attractive.

Ne emerge un racconto avvincente, appassionato, talvolta venato di sottile e amaro umorismo, che ci fa rivivere la prosaicità di ogni guerra: quando l'attimo dell'"azione" è preceduto da interminabili giornate di pedina­menti e intercettazioni passate a "studiare il nemico", a estrarre prove e indizi da un segno all'apparenza insignificante, da un sussurro carpito al telefono, da un silenzio sospetto.

Back then, hot-headed gangsters, not-so-gentle dames and bullet-riddled corpses filled the newspaper headlines. And some of the stories below the headlines were even true.

And not-so-fast cars carried assassins across Chicago, a city that for many captures the essence of the USA. In Tough Guys in the Room, the story of Al Capone and his rivals is told in separate and stand-alone topics that cover key figures and events.
