Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library copy with external stickers. Protective plastic contact covering.

The epic story of Australia's first superstar gangster of the 20th Century. Joseph Theodore Leslie Taylor, known to all as 'Squizzy', was a man whose relentless quest for power knew no boundaries.

In the 1920s, Squizzy Taylor was a household name for all the wrong reasons - armed robbery, fraud, sly grog and prostitution rackets, race fixing, extortion, jury rigging and illegal gambling. Squizzy was a dandy, a bootlegger and Melbourne's most notorious criminal. From 1915 to 1927, he and his gang waged open warfare against their rivals across Melbourne.

Underbelly: Squizzy tells the epic story of Squizzy Taylor's relentless quest for power and recognition, a quest that ultimately created our first celebrity gangster. Among those who knew him, the women in his life and the members of his gang, Squizzy left a trail of misery and heartache; however, in the end, he achieved what he wanted. People still remember his name. (back cover)
