When Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin boldly escaped from Alcatraz prison on June 11, 1962, it is widely believed that they succumbed to the waters of San Francisco Bay. In this reexamination of the escape and its aftermath, the authors make a strong case for the Anglin brothers' survival. This book provides a plausible outcome to one of America's enduring mysteries.
