The couple were known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the "public enemy era" between 1931 and 1934, until the couple were ambushed and shot to death in Bienville Parish, Lousiana. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians. The 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, directed by Arthur Penn and starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the title roles, revived interest in the criminals and glamorized them with a romantic aura.John Edwin Treherne (15 May 1929 – 23 September 1989) was an English entomologist who specialized in insect biochemistry and physiology and conducted extensive experimental studies. He was also a noted author, including the historically located The Galapagos Affair (1983) which he wrote after spending some time in the Galapagos conducting research. Treherne served as an editor for several journals, and was the vice-president of the Royal Entomological Society in 1967-68. In later life he began to take an interest in applying science to unsolved criminal mysteries and began to write books for pleasure including The Galapagos Affair (1983), The Strange History of Bonnie and Clyde (1984), Dangerous Precincts (1987).Will ship by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed for, well packaged.(£5.55/neben/ancelotti).aucCounter a .aucCounter span:hover .aucHiddenCounter .aucCounterOrangeText .aucCounterBlueText Track Page Views WithAuctiva's Counter
