"Escape From Alcatraz is a collection of true stories about escape attempts from the notorious prison off the coast of California on Alcatraz Island. One of them, the account of the possibly the only successful escape attempt, was made into a movie of the same name starring Clint Eastwood, among other famous name actors. That escape was not confirmed as successful or failed because the three men, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin, were never seen again, nor were their bodies ever recovered from the ocean. Alcatraz was closed shortly thereafter. I thought it was an interesting book."
"A terrific way to follow up the fantastic Alcatraz tour --buy a copy of J. Campbell Bruce's classic right there in the gift shop and read it on the flight home. A fascinating account that's truly tough to put down."
