ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ
"Mr. Bruce, an exceptionally able, sophisticated and zealous San Francisco reporter, tells a dramatic story in a series of thrilling accounts of the most remarkable escapes from Alcatraz." Los Angeles Times

"Much more than a prison chronicle, much more than a tale of escape—Escape From Alcatraz matches the bold fiction of Monte Cristo's departure from the Chateau d'If, In writing a best-seller, Bruce has also made a significant contribution to the professional literature of criminology." Chicago Tribune

"Perhaps Bruce's main success is his demonstration that attempted news management and secrecy in government are no match for a professional journalist determined to discover and to write the truth."
San Francisco Chronicle
