Guinn gleefully dispels the self-delusional image they propagated via posed photos-there was little glamour in their inept spree of robbing and killing.
The pair were instantly inseparable, and within two years their obsessive love match had morphed into a full-fledged criminal enterprise. By their first meeting, in January 1930, the twenty-year-old Clyde had become a common crook and the nineteen-year-old Bonnie a hard-drinking scrapper (she “fought her way” through school, her mother said). Clyde Barrow was the son of a junk man in the slums of west Dallas, and Bonnie Parker was a dirt-poor dreamer living across the Trinity River in Cement City. Jeff Guinn’s Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde is an entertaining, meticulously researched biography that gleans fact from the fables that grew up around this Depression-era outlaw duo.
