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, though no trace of the men has ever been found, only their makeshift raft.

In this reexamination of the escape and its aftermath, the Anglin brothers' nephew presents compelling evidence that his uncles did, in fact, survive and eventually made their way to Brazil, where they married and had children. Using official, government documents showing how mobster Mickey Cohen may have been involved in the escape, some revealing letters from fellow inmate Whitey Bulger, and recorded testimony from the person who facilitated their escape to Brazil, the authors make a strong case for the Anglin brothers' survival.

In addition, a 1975 photograph of the brothers in Brazil has overcome all challenges to its authenticity by skeptics. This book provides a plausible outcome to one of America's enduring mysteries.

I enjoyed this even more than I anticipated. I’ve read other books on Alcatraz and the escape, so have long been fascinated. This book filled in gaps of knowledge for us all. The fact that they pulled it odd is quite the revelation. Includes the background information on how the conclusion was reached.

Super interesting new information

I was shocked that this book tried to make excuses for criminals! Even having the nerve to bring up history and try to bring in slavery to a bunch of white criminals. These men were probably in Brazil committing more crimes. Leopards don’t change their spots. Shame on this family.
