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.
