Originally we had planned to release this much closer to actual Valentine's Day, but in this episode we are going to focus on how Al Capone rose to power during a period of intense gang violence in the 1920’s known as the Chicago Beer Wars.

Capone displayed some of his most ruthless tendencies during this time in order to win the war, and it all culminated in the infamous valentine's day massacre. Through this story we’ll try to understand a bit about the contradictions inside Capone’s life and how one many could be capable of such radical acts of both murder and mercy.
