Most Wanted: A History Of The FBI's Ten Most Wanted List, 1990, includes pictures in b/w. Hardcover, book in excellent condition, sticker mark on front. The FBI's Most Wanted Program officially began on March 14, 1950, when Director J. Edgar Hoover named "Tough Tommy" Holden, a convicted train robber and prison escapee, number one on the first Ten Most Wanted List. On May 24, Morris Guralnick, who had once bitten off a policeman's finger, was added on as number ten and the first Most Wanted List was complete. Most wanted is a fascinating history and current overview of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List from its Gangster Era preview-when widely distributed posters of Public Enemy No. 1 assisted the efforts of law enforEement officers pursuing criminals such as John Dillinger and Alvin Karpas-right up to the present day. Heavily illustrated with mug shots, the book is organized decade by decade, and within each ten-year period profiles a number of the most notorious Ten Most Wanted fugitives. Each featured case is accompanied by a photograph (when available), and inc'~udes background history, crimes committed, and the outcome of the case in a fast-moving narrative drawing heavily on the FBI's own source material. There is also an additional rogues' gallery for each decade, with photographs, dates, and a brief description of each fugitive's crime. The more than 400 fugitives who have made the Ten Most Wanted List committed a wide variety of serious crimes-among these mass murder, kidnap, rape, bank robbery, and bombing. In the 19~Os, after one of the most spectacular kidnapings of all time, the first woman was added to the Ten Most Wanted List. Five out of the next twenty-three additions were also women.
