Ebook: TIME-LIFE Great Prison Escapes: Thrilling Tales of How They Got Away

Fascinated by prison escapes, con artists, and people who refuse to be confined? Great Prison Escapes, the new Special Edition from TIME-LIFE, is a remarkable collection of true stories about convicts who slipped out of their cells through cunning, perseverance, and sometimes violence—all presented by the editors of TIME and LIFE. These amazing stores are presented in five chapters: “Quiet and Stealthy,” “Dangerous Exits,” “Larger Than Life,” “Prisoners of War,” and “Still at Large.” Some of these escapes, like the true tales behind the legend of “Papillon” are well known—published in memoirs and splashed across the big screen like the real con artist of Catch Me If You Can. Others have been closely guarded secrets … until now. Dozens of photographs and compelling narratives make these gripping stories come to life. Bonus material includes: lists of great breakouts in fiction, Hollywood’s best prison-escape movies, even the most secure prisons on earth. Escape from ordinary reading with TIME-LIFE Great Prison Escapes.
