Escape from Alcatraz by J Campbell Bruce EPUB torrent

In 1963, just weeks before the original publication of this
book, the last prisoner was escorted off Devil’s Island and
Alcatraz ceased to be a prison. Author J. Campbell Bruce
chronicles in spellbinding detail the Rock’s transition from
a Spanish fort to the maximum-security penitentiary that
housed such infamous inmates as Robert Stroud, aka the Birdman
of Alcatraz, and mobster Al �Scarface� Capone. The chapters
describing the daring escape attempts by Frank Morris and two
accomplices from this �inescapable� prison became the basis
for the 1979 Clint Eastwood movie. Discover the intriguing
and absorbing saga of Alcatraz, whose name is still synonymous
with punitive isolation and deprivation, where America’s most
violent and notorious prisoners resided in tortuous proximity
to one of the world’s favorite cities.The true-crime classic
first published in 1963 is reissued in this special edition.
Includes archival photos of the prison and prison life. This
story will appeal to Bay Area locals and tourists alike.
Alcatraz hosts more than a million visitors each year.
