Publisher's Summary

Mobster Al "Scarface" Capone, "Machine Gun" Kelly, Robert Stroud, aka the Birdman: only the most violent, desperate criminals went to Alcatraz Island, called "The Rock" and known for its harsh conditions. This gripping true crime classic, originally written in 1963 and newly reissued, tells the story of life on The Rock and of 14 ingenious escape attempts by the prisoners. Most notable perhaps was Frank Morris, whose daring plan of escape was the basis for the memorable 1979 Clint Eastwood movie Escape from Alcatraz.

    Story
    "Escape from Alcatraz"

    I have a morbid interest in the lives and sometimes deaths of scumbags and prison life , but not actually wanting to go there myself
    Very interesting ,historically and another light cast upon the film of the same name
    well worth a credit or cash

    "Interesting book"

    The writing does a good job at what the daily life at Alcatraz was like. Great piece of non-fiction.
