About this listen
It’s prohibition-era Chicago, and Al Capone and his gang boss, John Torrio, stand to make millions off of bootlegging. As long as crime can be organized along professional boundaries, there should be no need for violence. So why, as Prohibition wore on, did things get bloodier and bloodier? This week, Dan and Alana dig into The North Side Mob, and how their uniquely divided power structure led to an increasingly violent fight for territory.
