Robert Livesey", 306 pages, illustrated with b&w photos, ---"In 1936 the FBI arrested Alvin Karpis in New Orleans. He was the leader, along with Freddie Barker, of the Karpis/Barker gang of outlaws. (The FBI falsely claimed that Freddie's mother, Ma Barker, was the leader of the gang only after they killed the old lady with her son Freddie in Florida.) Alvin Karpis was wanted for 14 murders at the time of his arrest, but none could be proven. He was given a life sentence on a kidnapping charge and sent to the mysterious super-prison in San Francisco - Alcatraz. For 25 years Alcatraz housed the most dangerous criminals, and inside the walls and cells, bloody death, sexual perversity, and the brutality of guards were commonplace.Karpis describes the black hole - solitary confinement - and tells of the violent deaths of the cons who failed in their bids for freedom. "On the Rock" is Karpis's personal story of the desperate and insane who lead a timeless existence on the rock of Alcatraz Island.Karpis describes his fellow inmates: Al Capone, "Machine-Gun" Kelly, Doc Barker, Robert Stroud (the "Bird-Man of Alcatraz"), and (at McNeil Island) a young Charlie Manson whom Karpis taught to play guitar. His descriptions often contradict public mythologies about the infamous criminals. karpis died in Spain in 1979."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch )--- Size: 4.25w x 7h Inches.
