Description
Ralph Fults's life was marked by crime and violence, but also by a desire to expose the circumstances that propel youth into crime. From his early days as a juvenile delinquent to his involvement with the notorious Barrow gang, Fults's story is one of dramatic and often brutal events. This book tells his story in vivid detail, recounting bank robberies, killings, and prison escapes, as well as friendships, love affairs, and marriages. Fults's "ten fast years" were a period of intense activity, marked by numerous robberies and narrow escapes. He was shot by an Oklahoma police officer, brutalized by prison guards, and joined forces with Raymond Hamilton after the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde. Through his experiences, Fults gained a unique insight into the world of crime and the motivations of those who commit it. Author John Neal Phillips brings Fults's story to life with dialogues based on actual conversations amongst the participants, adding authenticity to the narrative. This is a gripping and often raw account of a life lived on the edge, and a testament to the enduring power of human experience.
