The Dutch Schultz Story by Ted Addy is fictionalized garbage. It's a "novelized biography" originally published as part of a series (without photos) by Monarch Books in the early '60s and reprinted in the late '60s (with photos) by Tower Books in a series called Public Enemies of the 1930s . Other books in the series (none of which are of any historical value) included:

The Lucky Luciano Story by Ovid Demaris (who later authored several fine nonfiction works on organized crime);

The Dillinger Story by Ovid Demaris;

Legs Diamond by Sam Curzon;

The Frank Costello Story by Bill Brennan.

On the other hand, for a good biography of Dutch Schultz, seek out the late Paul Sann's excellent book Kill the Dutchman! .
