L. R. Kirchner (1944–2002)

This is a fun history of bank robbing in America. Starting with the first banks, the book moves through how different security measures were invented by bankers and overcome by robbers, how the horse, machine gun and car changed bank robbing and the most infamous robbers in American history - including some who have never been caught! Easy to read and interesting, I enjoyed this unusual history. Perfect for anyone wanting to read a witty, amusing, some-what off, history of America.
