A Devil Incarnate: The Autobiography of William Radkay #666az

by Patty Terry

Willie Radkay's formative years growing up in the Strawberry Hill section of Kansas City, Kansas, spanned two World Wars, Prohibition, the Great Depression, and the Gangster Era. As a young man, Willie had no respect for any kind of law but his own. He survived numerous bank robberies, jail breaks, escapes, and gun battles - and still has six slugs in his body to remind him of being shot at by the police in 1934. In the course of his many years behind bars, Willie spent time in Alcatraz (1945-1952) when the "Cream of the Criminal Crop" was also locked up inside its walls. Infamous criminals like Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Basil "The Owl" Banghart, Alvin "Creepy" Karpis, and the Bird Man all lived on that tiny prison island back then, and Willie knew every one of them. This is Willie's story. Book jacket.
