description: This narrative is separated into two parts for some very critical reasons. Book One will deal with this event, as it was reported that time, through the news releases of the day. I will exhibit what was known in 1933 about the Union Station Massacre and the events leading up to the incident. The timeframe of the first book will encompass May 1933 through June of 1935 or to the "official" end of the case. I will, however, point out some facets of this investigation that were not common knowledge at the time.... Book Two will deal with what has been added to the original yarn over the years by various newspapers and novelists. This portion, equally important as the first, will untangle the whole story and add depth to what has already been written. There have been, over the last 60+ years, attempt to alter this story and these changes will, for the first time, be documented. What you will discover is that the transformation of the original account began the same day as the event itself. Some of these changes were planned, and executed, by some very powerful people of the time and, for the most part, have never been revealed to the public. We will see, through countless examples, who fashioned this myth known as The Union Station Massacre and, with this insight, appreciate who benefited from these modifications. The second book will deal with what actually took place on and about the 17th of June 1933, then for months and years after. --- excerpts from book's Foreword
