About this listen

Bonnie and Clyde were responsible for multiple murders and countless robberies. But they did not act alone. In 1933, during their infamous run from the law, Bonnie and Clyde were joined by Clyde's brother, Buck Barrow, and his wife, Blanche. Of these four accomplices, only one, Blanche Caldwell Barrow, lived beyond early adulthood and only Blanche left behind a written account of their escapades. Edited by outlaw expert John Neal Phillips, Blanche's previously unknown memoir is here available for the first time.

Blanche wrote her memoir between 1933 and 1939, while serving time at the Missouri State Penitentiary. Following her death, Blanche's good friend and the executor of her will, Esther L. Weiser, found the memoir wrapped in a large unused Christmas card. Later she entrusted it to Phillips, who had interviewed Blanche several times before her death. Drawing from these interviews, and from extensive research into Depression-era outlaw history, Phillips supplements the memoir with helpful notes and with biographical information about Blanche and her accomplices.

Critic Reviews

“Highly recommended.” ( Library Journal)
All stars
Most relevant  
Probably the closest you could get to knowing what Bonnie and Clyde were really like.
Surprisingly, it gets abit touchy and romantic when discussing the relationship between Blanche and Clyde's brother, Buck.
Definitely worth a read and a listen if you are a true crime buff

This book was an incredible looking glass into the life of Blanche, her husband 'Buck', and Bonnie and Clyde. While it reads as a rough draft in places, it is still a detailed account and provides the raw emotions felt by Blanche in those fateful months.
