Nicknamed “Hellcatraz”, this was the ‘ultimate’ prison - an isolated island in the San Francisco Bay surrounded by miles of treacherous waters, rumored to be filled with man-eating sharks. “They paddled out into the bay… and disappeared under the cover of darkness… never to be seen again.” I live in the S.F. Bay Area, and have recently been to Alcatraz, and STILL I learned a lot from this book! I didn't know that there had been an unsolved escape before this one, or the thing about the warm water showers! There is a lot of great information in here, with excellent illustrations! If you want to know about this unsolved mystery, young or old, this book will do the trick! Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

CASE NO. 002: THE ROCK. June 12, 1962. SAN FRANCISCO BAY, CALIFORNIA. 7:18 A.M. A corrections officer at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary tries to awaken inmate AZ-1441, Frank Morris. But when he shakes the unresponsive man, his head rolls off the pillow and crashes to the floor! Soon the guards realize that Morris and two other inmates, brothers John and Clarence Anglin, had done the seemingly impossible: escaped from the notorious island prison. This is the incredible true story of the daring and inventive escape and a decades-long manhunt in a case that remains unsolved to this day. Comics panels, reproductions of documents from real FBI files, and photos from the investigation combine for a thrilling read for sleuths of all ages. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

My daughter and I had the chance to visit Alcatraz five or ten years ago. It was a fascinating tour, and that experience made it very easy for me to visualize the escape beyond even the very useful illustrations provided here. ( )
