Street Fight is the untold story of the deadly taxicab wars that plagued Chicago during the 1920s and led to laws that today still govern how cab, limo, and rideshare companies and drivers work every day. The book vividly brings to life the full intrigue, danger, and innovation that accompanied the taxi wars in Chicago, an exciting yet politically corrupt city where world-famous gangsters publicly vied for control of the city's illegal liquor business in the time of Prohibition. Working from extensive research and interviews with descendants and experts, author Anne Morrissy gives the taxi wars the full treatment they deserve and which has so far eluded them.
