  • "Here is the true story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow-a young sociopathic Southern couple gunned down by authorities after a two-year crime spree that left twelve people dead."@en
  • "Ably cutting through hype and mythology, this history masterfully examines the outlaws' liberal and dysfunctional sex life, their astonishing ability to elude a 1000-man posse, the contradictory accounts of the mythic ambush that resulted in their deaths, and the extraordinary growth of the Bonnie and Clyde legend. Most significantly, this book dismantles the Barrow Gang's Robin Hood-like status, exposing Clyde as a psychopath and ineffectual robber and Bonnie as his blindly devoted, exhibitionistic girlfriend. The story that emerges, at once appalling and heartrendering, is probably as near as we shall ever get to understanding the most notorious pair of social truants that ever preyed on the banks and imagination of Depression-era America."
