I bought the book, written by Leon Whitey Thompson, who happened to be on Alcatraz signing books. His name will forever, not only, leave an impression in my book but also in my mind. This was an absolutely fantastic book which I could not put down. Basically, I bought it the day I left San Francisco and finished it by the time I had made three transits in Asia and finally back to Australia 40 hrs later. But one thing I did regret is that I should have read the book before I visited Alcatraz. I strongly recommend the book to everyone.

I picked up the book shortly after I bought it to look at it, and could not put it down. I closed the cover that evening finished. I is a very good book and I would recommend it to anyone. I had very little interest in the subject of Alcatraz before I read it. It is just that good. I also took a lot more understanding away once I was finished. By all means, buy it!

I was able to meet and speak to Mr.Thompson while touring at Alcatraz. He sparked my interest and I purchased his book. I found it to be quite a book and read it non-stop cover to cover. I am quite proud of my autographed copy.
