Where The Money Was The Memoirs Of A Bank Rob , Softcover, 1976, a little creasing on dj, good condition, Bonus...1 page newspaper article from 1981 did I rob banks? Because I enjoyed it, I loved it. I was more alive when T was inside a bank, robbing it, than at any other time in my life. I enjoyed everything about it so much that one or two weeks later I'd be out looking for the next job. But to me, the money was the ships, that's alh The winnings. I kept robbing banks when, by all logic, it was foolish: When it could cost me far more than I could possibly gain. The journey of William Francis Sut- ton ~ 1901-~ ) from his birth and boy- hood in the roistering Irish 'waterfront neighborhood of Brooklyn to placid and anonymous retirement today in Florida is a life story only one man could have lived. For more than fifty years Willie Sutton de- voted his boundless energy and undoubted genius exclusively to two activities at which he: almost certainly became better than any;man in history: These two pur- suits were-Breaking In and Breaking Out -and the targetsvn the first instance were banks rid in the second, prisons. Unarguably America's mast famous bank robber, .Willie never injured a soul (he makes a strand ease here for his non involvement an the Arnold Schuster mur- der), but took on almost a hundred banks, using ruses, disguises, pioneering safe- cracking techniques, the timing of a ballet datl~er, and a visceral sense of the human psyche: He departed three of America's most escape-proof penitentiaries-each break the rival of the wildest fiction. And yet his final escape, by tortuous legal means, is perhaps the most thrilling of all. This- is the stuff of myth-rascally and cautionary by turns-yet true in every searing, diverting, and brilliantly recalled detail.
