Description - Bonnie and Clyde: The Lives Behind the Legend by Paul Schneider
Set in a dirt-poor Texas landscape that spawned the star-crossed outlaws, this brilliantly researched and dramatically crafted true story opens with a murderous jail break and ends with the ambush and shoot-out that consigned their bullet-riddled bodies to the front seat of a hopped-up getaway car. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow's relationship was a toxic combination of infatuation blended with an instinct for going too far too fast. The poetry-writing, petite Bonnie and her diminutive, gun-crazy lover (she was four feet ten inches and he was barely nine stone) drove lawmen wild, slipping the noose every time. That is, until their infamy caught up with them in the famous ambush that literally blasted them away. Without glamourising the killers, or vilifying the cops, Bonnie and Clyde is alive with action and high-level entertainment and provides a fascinating picture of America's most famous outlaw couple and the culture that created them. Paul Schneider is the author of three critically acclaimed books, including a New York Times Book Review notable book. He spends his time between Florida and Massachusetts.
