With deftness of skill, Conway tells the story of George Leslie, a man who was responsible for nearly 80% of all bank robberies in America from 1869-1878, including the largest bank robbery in U.S. history –nearly $50 million by today’s standards. Perhaps even more interesting than the methods Leslie used to orchestrate these robberies are the circumstances that led him to pursue a life of crime, and the events that led to his downfall. Easily recommended.
