Bonnie and ClydeBonnie Parker, Clyde Barrow, and their 'Barrow Gang' robbed banks and armories all over the south during the Great Depression. Their crime spree began in 1932 and ended in 1934.
Jeff Guinn's Go Down Together: the True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde describes then strips away the 1930's press sensationalism that made Bonnie and Clyde seem glamorous. The sensationalism, the author asserts, fueled the couple's overblown reputation as masterminds when instead, they were incompetent crooks turned deadly. Great book for true crime fans or students of the Depression Era looking for a well worth it page-turner.
