Opis

On June 11, 1962, three men tunneled out of their cells, gained access to the cell-block roof, lowered themselves to the ground, and made their way to the shore of the Alcatraz Island. Clinging to an improvised raft they slipped out into the dark waters of the bay. They were never seen again. Their escape resulted in one of the most extensive manhunts in history. The pundits agreed that they could not have survived the cold waters and strong tides of the San Francisco Bay. The authorities finally concluded that since there was no trace of them, they must have died. They were wrong. This intriguing biographical book reveals what really happened after the infamous escapees left Alcatraz, how they eluded the authorities, and the fascinating lives they have led since they disappeared. This book was written by the son of J. Campbell Bruce, author of the book "Escape from Alcatraz" upon which the movie of the same name, starring Clint Eastwood, was based. Read the remarkable story of what really happened....after the escape from Alcatraz.
