Bringing the thread back because this is a good read: https://ig.ny.gov/sites/default/files/pdfs/DOCCS%20Clinton%20Report%20FINAL_1.pdf
I happened upon it in the New Yorker’s list of favorite books in 2016: http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-books-we-loved-in-2016 It’s not actually a book, it’s a very well-written report from the office of the NY Inspector General. It covers the escape itself in great detail and answers some of the questions we had about how in the world the whole thing happened. I’d like to see Catherine Scott get a true crime book contract out of this. She writes well! The New Yorker critic calls it “a stunning and absorbing, rollicking, tragic, unbelievable but true account of the lives of Americans in America.”
