Capone's Vault (Hybrid)

In Capone's Vault: The Real Story of the Biggest Disaster in Television History, author William Elliott Hazelgrove weaves together the stories of Geraldo Rivera's career and the history of Al Capone, leading to the development of the infamous The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults broadcast. These stories merge on the night of the show with a play-by-play recalling of the disastrous two-hour program and its aftermath. The broadcast was a simple bet that Geraldo Rivera would open a vault in the basement of a nineteenth-century hotel and show the world something from Al Capone, but instead it would reveal basic truths about television that persist today. This is a wild and captivating true story for readers both new to the mystery and for those ready to relive what would be a crazy night that has defined live television for forty years.
