Portland on the Take: Mid-Century Crime Bosses, Civic Corruption & Forgotten Murders, Hardcover - Jd Chandler

Detalii:

DescriptionIn an era when Portlands shipyards thrived, so, too, did corruption. The Red Scare that followed the 1934 Waterfront Strike allowed gangsters to gain control of some of the citys unions. Working in cahoots with high-ranking city officials, criminals like Al Winter and James Elkins gained power and influence, often using goon squads of union men and hired criminals to enforce their will. Now authors JD Chandler and JB Fisher bring Portlands days of civic corruption and hidden murders out of the shadows. With unprecedented access to the police investigative files of the Frank Tatum murder of 1947 and the detective notebooks and tape recorder transcripts of Multnomah County sheriffs detective Walter Graven, the authors shed new light on Portlands turbulent mid-twentieth-century past.
