Bonnie and Clyde A Twenty-First Century update includes eyewitness accounts not seen elsewhere.
Bonnie and Clyde A TwentyFirstCentury Update eBook James R Knight Jonathan Davis
Well-written, but substantially similar to books I read 30 years ago. The author has done a great deal of research and I would have no hesitation in recommending this if one plans to read just one book about the infamous duo. Works well as an introduction to the subject, but gains significantly if read alongside some works about the early 1930s and the era of "gangsters."Product details

Bonnie and Clyde A TwentyFirstCentury Update eBook James R Knight Jonathan Davis Reviews
I've read many books on Bonnie and Clyde and this book has more details than I have ever seen. It also has a very good time line mapped out on the events. It was very interesting to see photos I had not seen before. All in all I really enjoyed the book.
This book was well done and read smoothly. I'm have been a cop for the last nineteen years and have come across a few of these life time criminal. The authors painting of these low life's is a little to nice for me to enjoy. But he really give great facts to follow there crime spree.
I thought that this was one of the better books about Bonnie and Clyde. It rates right up there with the books by John Neal Phillips and Jeff Guinn. Lots of good pictures as well. One must take all the info that can be gleaned from all of the these books and draw your own conclusions as there are some conflicting stories, or at least conflicting details of some of the stories. For instance Ted Hinton's "Ambush" seems to be the only book that says that the posse waited two nights out on the road at Gibsland. Most versions have them arriving at the ambush spot in the early morning hours of Wednesday May 23, 1934. Also, it would be interesting to know what happened to the dress that Bonnie was wearing that day. Clyde's shirt is in the casino in Nevada but there is no mention of what happened to Bonnie's dress other than it was returned to the family after the bodies were prepared for burial in Arcadia.
I've read many good books on the subject of Bonnie & Clyde, and even though the 1967 movie was far from accurate historically, it is one of my all time favorite movies. This book does the best job I've found of setting some of the inaccurate facts straight. I live less than 30 miles from Dexter Park, where the gang was ambushed, and I find it fascinating to finally read so many details of what transpired during those events. If this subject interests you at all, then this book is an absolute must read.
I always appreciate authors who have done their homework. This is one of those books. I expect Bonnie Parker Thornton and Clyde Chestnut Barrow, who later changed his middle name to Champion, will be an item of interest for years to come. One of the things I like about Knight's work is that he sifts through the tales and rumors to find the facts. It is an superb read.
"Here they come down that dusty road, and muddy bend; Man and woman welded in crime, together they lived and together...they died. Who else could it be?; But good ol' Bonnie and Clyde!"
The book entitled, "Bonnie and Clyde A Twenty-First-Century Update" by James R.Knight (with Jonahtan Davis )is... "A killer of a book!"
This is a superbly written and researched book. James R. Knight is too young to have ridden along with them, at least in this life. However, his knowledge and interest in this gun toting couple makes me wonder, where he may have been in his last life time?
His writing is informative, easy to read and follow, and...extremely descriptive. In addition, the book is a photographic library in itself!
Sometimes, I could almost hear the heavy "barking" of Clyde's "BAR" and watch the black exhaust clouds rise from the tail pipe of his get-away, 1934 Ford sedan.
Frank Hamer does not appear to be as powerful a figure as he was portrayed in the 1967 movie with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. Although, a central figure in orchestrating the couple's final demise, the initial credit seems to flow toward a little known figure of the ambush group listed as, Officer Prentis Oakley.
Author, James Knight also gives the reader what Paul Harvey used to say on his radio program "and now you know ... the rest of the story."
Knight follows through with information on the fate of each actor who ever played any part on the stage of "Bonnie and Clyde."
A great job Mr. Knight(and Mr. Davis)! When can we expect another publication???
Having been involved in the production of the musical "Bonnie & Clyde" I became interested in what was the real story of these two not the romanticized version. This book gave me a detailed chronology of the actual events of that time period. It also gave hints as to the personalities of the major players. It was very informative
