About this book

This book tells the harrowing, inspirational story of Robert E. Burns' imprisonment on a chain gang in the 1920s, his daring escape (twice, no less!), and the public furor that developed. The book became a famous movie, sparking outrage about prison conditions and involuntary servitude leading to major reforms. It is simply a very interesting read
