In 1934 America's first Public Enemy #1, John Dillinger escaped from a heavily fortified jail without firing a single shot armed with a wooden gun. This book offers a bold fresh look at the infamous wooden gun and introduces you to the man who carved it. Did Dillinger have the last laugh at the expense of J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI? This is one story the FBI would like left untold. Was Dillinger really killed at the Biograph Theater? What famous Nazi played a part in this story? Was Hoover gay? Why did he protect the mob? These questions and more answered in this tome. Based on a true story.

In the scant space of four short summers, He witnessed first-hand the Detroit riots of 1967. The following summer he and other Hippy protestors were arrested in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention. The following summer in 1969, he endured Marine Corps boot camp. Finally, in 1970-71 he was in the sweltering jungles of South Viet-Nam trying to stay alive. He grew up hearing the stories of Dillinger, Youngblood and his uncle Genie Fields the man that shot Youngblood in the back. Genie a mulatto, passed for white, had to leave town in fear of his life for his cowardly act. D Gordon wrote this story in order to gain a little peace of mind.
