Product Description:
The armored car business, born in the crime-plagued years that followed World War I and tempered in the heat of Prohibition lawlessness, proved its importance and tenacity during the difficult years of The Great Depression and subsequent wars, both hot and cold. To safeguard and transport the world's wealth, armored car operators have traveled a long, often bumpy, road. This is the story of that journey - the very first narrative to bring together the major players, individuals as well as companies, and chronicle their most significant milestones. It's a story reaching from the frontier exploits of Wells Fargo stagecoaches and Pony Express riders to the tradegy of 9/11.
