LONDON, UK - October 18, 2025 - It was a cold June night in 1962. Three inmates—Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers—slipped out of the most secure prison in the United States. Their plan was bold, their execution flawless… and their fate unknown.
More than six decades later, the mystery still captivates. In The Escape from Alcatraz: Definitive Edition, acclaimed Spanish author Carlos Cabezas López returns to the infamous breakout with renewed perspective and extensive new research. Published by Eager Dragon Publishing, this revised second edition peels back the layers of myth to uncover the complex truth behind America’s most legendary prison escape.
Blending investigative journalism, historical context, and narrative storytelling, this edition goes beyond the basic facts. Readers are taken deep inside Alcatraz Island—its architecture, routines, and psychology of control—and into the minds of the men who risked everything for a chance at freedom. It’s a book not only about how the escape was possible, but why it continues to echo in our collective imagination.
"The escape isn’t just a prison story," says Carlos Cabezas López. "It’s a symbol—of resistance, of human ingenuity, of the thin line between justice and control."
The book also examines the cultural legacy of Alcatraz in film, literature, and public memory, with new chapters dedicated to the prison’s portrayal in media and its transformation from fortress to legend.
With elegant prose and forensic depth, The Escape from Alcatraz: Definitive Edition invites readers to revisit a story that refuses to be confined—and poses the question still unanswered: Did they die trying… or did they disappear forever?
