Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. SIGNED. The prison story of Alvin Karpis - Public Enemy Number One. Canadian-born Karpis was the only survivor from the 1930 era of infamous criminals in the USA. Only 4 men ever held the title of Public Enemy Number One. The others - Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd and John Dillinger, all died violently. J Edgar Hoover personally assumed credit for the apprehension of 'Old Creepy' in New Orleans. Karpis, the prize catch of the newly-formed FBI, was not granted parole during his 25yrs. behind bars in Alcatraz. This is his personal story about life there, a hell-hole where all regard for humanity was lost. Doc Barker, Machine Gun Kelly, and Al Capone were among the most dangerous on the early roster of the incarcerated criminals. Among the inmates, Karpis wielded power and influence - for this he accumulated years in the black hole that was solitary confinement. Only his hatred of Hoover gave him the impetus to survive. A book which provides an insight into the criminal mind, prison bureaucracy, the machinations of the FBI and life in the most inhumane of the maximum security penitentiaries - Alcatraz. Illus. + Epilogue. 306pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. FLAT SIGNED BY ROBERT LIVESEY. F. in F. protected dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage if shipped overseas. signed by author.
