"A fascinating and tragic tale of the hapless, young Topeka, Kansas couple who found themselves on the FBI's 'Public Enemies' list in 1938-1939, more because of that agency's culture than because of the crimes they had admittedly committed. Cecil's well-told account, bolstered by his deep knowledge of the FBI, should be of real interest to Kansas and regional readers."-- Virgil Dean , editor of John Brown to Bob Dole; Movers and Shakers in Kansas History "In an engaging writing style, Cecil has deftly, expertly, and convincingly recast the story of Ben and Stella Dickenson, moving the traditional narrative away from its FBI-inspired plot about ruthless, bloodthirsty gangsters to a more nuanced, and even, sympathetic narrative that better explains Ben and Stella and what they did. He also highlights how J. Edgar Hoover's selfish PR interests and influence only amplified the tragedy that was the Dickson's lives. . . . The definitive narrative about Ben and Stella Mae and an invaluable history of a little-examined aspect of the FBI's 1930s anti-crime publicity effort."-- Douglas M.
