Reviews
On June 11, 1962, a year before the infamous prison in San Francisco Bay was permanently closed, three inmates--Frank Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin--escaped from the island. None of the three was among the toughest of the hard men who were serving on "The Rock," and whether they survived the treacherous currents of the bay is unknown. DeNevi ( Alcatraz '46 ) reviews the story here, going into detail about the trio's extensive preparation for the breakout, material that would be boring were it not a testimony to amazing ingenuity. DeNevi is convinced that the escapees survived. Fans of prison books will find this one mildly interesting; general readers will question the point of reopening the subject. Photos not seen by PW.
