Go Down Together may be more than anyone needs to know about the criminal careers of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, but like any good researcher, Jeff Guinn just couldn't resist using every interesting insight he had gleaned. Guinn ferretted out new sources that correct the notion of Clyde and Bonnie as bank-robbing masterminds, using them to demonstrate that the two spent much more time aimlessly driving around the South and Southwest, knocking off small groceries and robbing gumball machines (although they were pretty successful at replenishing their arsenals at National Guard Armories). Determined to stay together to the bitter end, the two were boxed in by intractable poverty and lack of opportunity, the Depression, and a misplaced desire for glamor and fame. In the end their constant race to elude capture was anything but romantic, yet their story remains strangely compelling.
