1919-1939 was a time of unprecedented change - this book captures it all for posterity in a series of stunning pictures. From the 'war to end all wars' to the crash of the stock market; from enforcement of prohibition to the rise of the celebrity gangster. This book collects the years of research following the Dark Knight and the colourful characters that for a short period would dominate the headlines. As you flick through its pages and ponder over its captivating images, you will see the world that would create a place like Gotham City, and the people who put on masks to protect it.
