Alcatraz. The island no one escaped from.
Until three men did.
On the night of June 11, 1962, Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers vanished from the most secure prison in the United States. What followed has puzzled historians, criminologists, and conspiracy theorists for over sixty years.
The Alcatraz Escape is a gripping account that reconstructs the facts behind the infamous breakout, blending historical precision with a compelling narrative style. Far from a simple retelling, this book delves into the minds of the men who defied the system-and possibly the Pacific Ocean.
This definitive edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to provide the most complete version of the story, placing the escape in its historical, cultural, and human context.
Was it a jailbreak... or a perfect disappearance?
Carlos Cabezas López presents a deeply researched work that explores not only how the escape happened, but why it continues to haunt the public imagination.
