The true story of how Detroit's Purple-Licavoli Gang took over Toledo and its aftermath. Prohibition and Toledo's proximity to rum-running routes made it an ideal target of organized crime and the author details how the takeover was implemented and how corruption eased the process.

About the Author

Harry R. Illman [1918-2001] was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. He graduated from the University of Toledo and later the Ohio State University Law School.

His law career included representing Toledo gambling figures, making him uniquely qualified to author this book.
