Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6?A whirlwind tour of banditry from ancient China to drug gangs of today. Historical facts about 20 individuals or groups?chiefly from the Northern Hemisphere?appear along with brief mention of their romanticized counterparts in literature and popular culture. Entries include Spartacus, Ali Baba, Robin Hood, Rob Roy, Jesse James, Mexico's Zapata, and our own Bonnie Parker. Ross is matter of fact in his description of the violent and brutal means that these people employed and the equally gruesome ways in which they died. The slim volume is profusely illustrated with full-color drawings, reproductions, photos, and movie stills. It concludes with a map of "The Bandit World" and a "Bandit Timeline." A readable, glossy treatment of a high-interest topic.?George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield
