Description
Frank Hamer, the Man Who Killed Bonnie and Clyde Frank Hamer's life was a testament to his unwavering dedication to justice. From the lawless days of the Old West to the gangster era of the 1930s, Hamer stood at the forefront of some of the most pivotal moments in American history. This biography, written by acclaimed historian John Boessenecker, sets out to restore Hamer's good name and reveal the truth behind his remarkable career. Hamer's story spans an incredible range of experiences, from participating in the Bandit War of 1915 to battling the Mexican Revolution's spillover across the border. He protected African Americans from lynch mobs and the Ku Klux Klan, and ran down gangsters, bootleggers, and Communists. When his career finally came to an end, it was only when he faced off against another legendary Texan, Lyndon B. Johnson. Through Boessenecker's masterful storytelling, Hamer's life is finally given the recognition it deserves. This is a grand adventure story that sheds new light on a near-mythic lawman, and will provide readers with a deeper understanding of this incredible figure.
