A fascinating Alcatraz English Edition illustrated guide book, published by Bonechi, exploring the history and story of one of America’s most famous prisons and landmarks.

Written by Richard Dunbar, the book combines historical information with extensive photography, covering Alcatraz Island and the former United States Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay. It provides a visual look at the island, prison buildings and cells alongside the history associated with the notorious federal prison.
