Eliot Ness and the Untouchables:
The Historical Reality
and
the Film and Television Depictions, 1st ed. 2000.

by Ken Tucker

Lawman Eliot Ness has been transformed into a legend by the films and television programs that depicted the war he and his “Untouchables” waged against Al Capone and the mobsters of Prohibition-era Chicago. The first edition of this volume analyzes both Ness the person and Ness the myth.

The author concludes by evaluating the life and accomplishments of Eliot Ness, and his impact as a cultural icon.
