<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in hardcover in 2009 ..." -- verso t.p.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The flesh-and-blood story of the outlaw lovers who shot their way across Depression-era America, based on archival research, declassified FBI documents, and interviews</b> <p/>The daring movie revolutionized Hollywood--now the true story of Bonnie and Clyde is told in the lovers' own voices, with verisimilitude and drama to match Truman Capote's <i>In Cold Blood</i>. <p/>Strictly nonfiction--no dialogue or other material has been made up--and set in the dirt-poor Texas landscape that spawned the star-crossed outlaws, Paul Schneider's brilliantly researched and dramatically crafted tale begins with a daring jailbreak and ends with an ambush and shoot-out that consigns their bullet-riddled bodies to the crumpled front seat of a hopped-up getaway car. <p/>Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow's relationship was, at the core, a toxic combination of infatuation blended with an instinct for going too far too fast. Without glamorizing the killers, or vilifying the cops, the book, alive with action and high-level entertainment, provides a complete picture of America's most famous outlaw couple and the culture that created them.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"When David Newman and I were writing the screen play for Bonnie and Clyde we did an enormous amount of research, but not nearly as much as Paul Schneider. And it has paid off handsomely; he has written a splendid biography of two iconic American gangsters who were 'not only outlaws, but outcasts.' From the first page, waiting for a prison break on a foggy morning in East Texas to the last, the book is riveting and unforgettable." --<i>Robert Benton</i> <p/>"A nonfiction novel in the style of Capote's <i>In Cold Blood</i> . . . . Schneider's Bonnie and Clyde presents the story the way it might have been from the inside." --<i>Allen Barra, The Chicago Tribune</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Paul Schneider</b> is the author of <i>Bonnie and Clyde</i>, the critically acclaimed <i>Brutal Journey</i>, the highly praised <i>The Enduring Shore</i>, and <i>The Adirondacks</i>, a <i>New York Times Book Review</i> Notable Book. He and his wife, the photographer Nina Bramhall, and their son, Nathaniel, divide their time between Bradenton, Florida and West Tisbury, Massachusetts.</p>
