| 520 | |a At the height of the 1920s, the ex-frontier town of Denver emerged from the postwar boom as the future of the American city. But the progress and opportunity masked a stew of organized crime, elaborate swindles, and widespread government corruption. Rookie district attorney Philip Van Cise employed military intelligence tools he'd developed during the war, and crippled the criminal empire of Lou Blonger. When the Ku Klux Klan employed anti-immigration scare tactics, vigilantism, and culture wars while claiming to protect true American values, Van Cise was determined to expose the Invisible Empire from within -- adapted from jacket. | ||
