What did President Franklin D. Roosevelt have in common with the notorious gangster, Al Capone? It just might have been a car; specifically a bulletproof Cadillac with a V-8 engine. How these men diverged is presented anecdotally with a touch of speculation but in a highly engaging, readable style. Scratchboard illustrations and concluding back matter includes a timeline, additional resources and a few photographs.
