From the moment they first cut a swathe of crime across 1930s
America, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker have been glamorised in
print, on screen and in legend. The reality of their brief and
catastrophic lives is very different -- and far more fascinating.
Combining exhaustive research with surprising, newly discovered
material, author Jeff Guinn tells the real story of two youngsters
from a filthy Dallas slum who fell in love and then willingly
traded their lives for a brief interlude of excitement and, more
important, fame. Thanks in great part to surviving relatives of
Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, who provided Guinn with access to
never-before-published family documents and photographs, this book
reveals the truth behind the myth, told with cinematic sweep and
unprecedented insight by a master storyteller.
