THE STRANGE HISTORY OF BONNIE AND CLYDE

Softcover. Uncorrected Proof Copy. An unbiaised account of the lives of the most notorious folk heroes of the 1930s. The author set about sifting throughj the mass of conflicting evidence, travelling to America to interview surviving eye-witnesses and anyone else who could throw a clear light on Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. He also examined the whole process of myth-making and its importance in a world of science and technology. The story that emerges, at once appalling and heart-rending, at times an absurd burlesque on the American way of life, is probably as near as we shall ever come to the outlandish flesh and blood reality which gave rise to the legend of Bonnie and Clyde. Illus., Bibliogl. and Films. 245pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. With general shelfwear + 2 tiny, coloured 'spot' stickers to sp.
