Description
Throughout the Great Depression, most Americans especially admired gangland criminals—especially as portrayed in the new motion pictures—who succeeded by doing business outside the failed system. Among the real-life models for the celluloid images, none are more glamorous than Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. But at the time, they attracted much less attention than star criminals like John Dillinger.
In this fascinating Quick Read from Now and Then Reader, Steven Biel plots the strange path by which this pair of ne’er-do-wells became the stuff of myth and legend, which persist to this day.
