In 1933–34, seen in retrospect as the heyday of the Depression-era outlaw, Dillinger was the most notorious of all, standing out even among more violent criminals such as [[Baby Face Nelson]], [[Pretty Boy Floyd]], and [[Bonnie and Clyde]]. (Decades later, the first major book about in '30s gangsters was titled ''The Dillinger Days''.) Media reports in his time were spiced with exaggerated accounts of Dillinger's bravado and daring and his colorful personality. The government demanded federal action, and [[J. Edgar Hoover]] developed a more sophisticated FBI as a weapon against [[Organized crime|organized crime]] and used Dillinger and his gang as his campaign platform to launch the FBI. | In 1933–34, seen in retrospect as the heyday of the Depression-era outlaw, Dillinger was the most notorious of all, standing out even among more violent criminals such as [[Baby Face Nelson]], [[Pretty Boy Floyd]], and [[Bonnie and Clyde]].
