Bonnie-Clyde The Lives Behind the Legend Unabridged Audio Book

							        Bonnie and Clyde: The Lives Behind the Legend
                        (Unabridged)
In Paul Schneider's hands, the legend behind the daring movie that revolutionized
Hollywood becomes the true story of Bonnie and Clyde. Told in the lovers' own
voices, it offers verisimilitude and drama to match Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.
Strictly nonfiction---no dialogue or other material has been made up---and set in the
dirt-poor Texas landscape that spawned the star-crossed outlaws, the brilliantly
researched and dramatically crafted tale opens with a murderous jail break and ends
with the ambush and shoot-out that consigned their bullet-riddled bodies to the front
seat of a hopped-up getaway car. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow's relationship
was, at the core, a toxic combination of infatuation blended with an instinct for going
too far too fast. The poetry-writing, petite Bonnie and her diminutive, gun-crazy lover
(she at four feet, ten inches tall, he barely 125 pounds) drove lawmen wild, slipping
the noose every single time. That is, until their infamy caught up with them in the
famous ambush that literally blasted away their four years of live-action rampage in
seconds. Without glamorizing the killers or vilifying the cops, this book, alive with
action and high-level entertainment, provides a complete picture of America's most
famous outlaw couple and the culture that created them.
