About This Item
Berkeley, CA: Ariel Vamp Pr, 2001. Soft cover. Very Good. SIGNED BY JOLENE BABYAK on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; some creasing at upper inside edge of front cover; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; June 11, 1962 - After months of digging through concrete, stealing supplies to make life vests and a raft, four convicts placed dummy maskes in their beds and broke "the Rock." Three of them were never seen again. Alcatraz was the most maximum security prison in the U.S. and this was its most stunning escape attempt. How did they do it? Who helped them? Did they make it? Jolene Babyak's father was the acting warden. She was at home on Alcatraz when the first call announcing the escape came from the prison. Now, using eyewitness interviews, FBI documents and crime scene analysis - she exposes the searing story of how the most famous escape attempt in U.S. history caused the prison to be abandoned nine months later.
