{"product_id":"escape-from-alcatraz-the-true-crime-classic","title":"Escape from Alcatraz: The True Crime Classic","description":"The true-crime classic and basis for the renowned 1979 Clint Eastwood film: a “dramatic [and] thrilling” (Los Angeles Times) account of life inside Alcatraz, where America’s most violent and notorious prisoners resided in tortuous proximity to one of the world’s favorite cities\n\nMobster Al “Scarface” Capone, “Machine Gun” Kelly, Robert Stroud aka the Birdman: only the most violent, desperate criminals were sent to Alcatraz Island—the Rock—where prison conditions were so harsh that escape, riot—even death—were an inmate’s only hope.\n\nIn 1963, just weeks before the original publication of this book, the last prisoner was escorted off of Devil’s Island and Alcatraz ceased to be a prison. But how did a Spanish fort transition to the infamous maximum-security penitentiary? In Escape from Alcatraz, J. Campbell Bruce presents a gripping history of the Rock interwoven with a spellbinding narrative of the daring escape attempt by Frank Morris and two accomplices.\n\nThis updated edition of Escape from Alcatraz features a gallery of photos, including scenes from the 1979 movie and archival photos of the prison and prison life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1580086780\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1580086780.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Campbell Bruce, J.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
