Description
"Ma Barker and her boys. It's the stuff of legend. A criminal mother and her four sons. The aging matriach dying side-by-side with her youngest boy in a Tommy gunduel with "G-Men" at a Florida bungalow. It's a haunting, somewhat Oedipal, image of family-style crime that must have captivated Americans in a vein similar to the "romantic" boy-and-girl bandit team of Bonnie and Clyde." Rick Mattix, author of The Complete Pulbic Enemy Almanac
