Review Quotes from Tony Stewart’s previous book Dillinger, The Hidden Truth:
Tony Stewart, A great Crime Writer. ...John Binder - author of The Chicago Outfit
Ordered your book online. From all accounts, you really nailed it. ...Alex Tresniowski - Crime Writer at PEOPLE Magazine
"Tony Stewart's book 'Dillinger, The Hidden Truth' captures that shoot-em-up era to a 'T.' With the ever-growing library dealing with the '20s and '30s' gangster era, Stewart's book is another tasty dish on that splashy wine and blood splattered dinner table.”
Tom Hollatz - Gangster Holidays--the Lore and Legend of the Bad Guys
Tony Stewart's dedicated fascination with John Dillinger and other infamous gangsters from the 1920s and 1930s is finally revealed in "Dillinger, The Hidden Truth."
Robert Livesey - author of On the Rock
Tony Stewart uncovers the "Hidden Truth" behind the Dillinger legend in this blazing ride through America's golden age of bank robbers.
Jim Adams - City Editor of the New Hampshire Sunday News
When it comes to John Dillinger, author Tony Stewart strives to tell it like it is! "Dillinger - The Hidden Truth," presents this dapper 1930's outlaw, as you've never really known him. This is a must read book!
Frank R. Ballinger - Bonnie & Clyde's Hideout Website
"Finally we have a factual and engaging story of Dillinger's life, refreshingly devoid of the fantasy, bias and sentimentality of previous accounts."
Alston Purvis - Boston University
If you read only one book this year, make it “ Dillinger, The Hidden Truth.” Tony Stewart presents an exciting new look at the bank robber’s career and those who attempted, by any means, to “Get Dillinger.”
Bill Hanson - author of "Closely Guarded Secrets" and "Mystery Florida"
Read for the first time, Tony Stewart's well-researched book that uncovers the hidden truth in the annuals of the Gangster era that the FBI and J.Edgar Hoover didn't want the public too know.
Jeffrey Maycroft; Historical Consultant, Public Enemies Almanac
J. Edgar Hoover ignored the Mafia to ruthlessly exterminate easier targets--celebrity bandits like Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Bonnie and Clyde--check out Tony Stewart's Dillinger, the Hidden Truth. Moves with the fast pace of a stolen Ford V8 to the staccato bark of a Tommy gun!
Rick Mattix - co-author, Public Enemies, America's Criminal Past, 1919-1940 and Thompson, the American Legend: The First Submachine Gun
In this new work John Dillinger is researched to the insight never before researched. I have a lot of respect for anyone who takes the time, patience, and discipline to research and then write a book on any subject, let alone a subject as complicated as the life of John Dillinger. This new insight and information that Mr. Stewart has written is a refreshing and new look at the famous John Dillinger. This is recommended reading, before the lights go out on the final chapter of John Dillinger. This is the final chapter.
