The real story is completely different--and far more fascinating.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGo Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde\u003c\/i\u003e, bestselling author Jeff Guinn combines exhaustive research with surprising, newly discovered material to tell the real tale of two kids from a filthy Dallas slum who fell in love and then willingly traded their lives for a brief interlude of excitement and, more important, fame. Their timing could not have been better--the Barrow Gang pulled its first heist in 1932 when most Americans, reeling from the Great Depression, were desperate for escapist entertainment. Thanks to newsreels, true crime magazines, and new-fangled wire services that transmitted scandalous photos of Bonnie smoking a cigar to every newspaper in the nation, the Barrow Gang members almost instantly became household names on a par with Charles Lindbergh, Jack Dempsey, and Babe Ruth. In the minds of the public, they were cool, calculating bandits who robbed banks and killed cops with equal impunity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNothing could have been further from the truth. Clyde and Bonnie were perhaps the most inept crooks ever, and their two-year crime spree was as much a reign of error as it was of terror. Lacking the sophistication to plot robberies of big-city banks, the Barrow Gang preyed mostly on small mom-and-pop groceries and service stations. Even at that, they often came up empty-handed and were reduced to breaking into gum machines for meal money. Both were crippled, Clyde from cutting off two of his toes while in prison and Bonnie from a terrible car crash caused by Clyde's reckless driving. Constantly on the run from the law, they lived like animals, camping out in their latest stolen car, bathing in creeks, and dining on cans of cold beans and Vienna sausages. Yet theirs was a genuine love story. Their devotion to each other was as real as their overblown reputation as criminal masterminds was not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGo Down Together\u003c\/i\u003e has it all--true romance, rebellion against authority, bullets flying, cars crashing, and, in the end, a dramatic death at the hands of a celebrity lawman hired to hunt them down. Thanks in great part to surviving Barrow and Parker family members and collectors of criminal memorabilia who provided Jeff Guinn with access to never-before-published material, we finally have the real story of Bonnie and Clyde and their troubled times, delivered with cinematic sweep and unprecedented insight by a masterful storyteller.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeff Guinn is the bestselling author of numerous books, including \u003ci\u003eGo Down Together\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Last Gunfight\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eManson\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Jonestown\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWar on the Border\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWaco. \u003c\/i\u003eHe lives in Fort Worth, Texas, and is a member of the Texas Literary Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.23 x 9.24 x 6.22 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 09, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52107353456941,"sku":"9781416557074","price":21.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/dWtkL0FnaUQ5Q2NDdGFaUWV6YWdWQT09.webp?v=1780426234","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/go-down-together-the-true-untold-story-of-bonnie-and-clyde-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
