Allison Bateman never envisioned that she would be re-releasing the Bonnie & Clyde book, called Retribution. The past five years have brought a renewed interest in the 1934 Bonnie & Clyde ambush. In 2013, an old newspaper article surfaced and a copy of it was sent to Mrs. Bateman. That newspaper article lifted a weight off Mrs. Bateman's shoulders. She was struggling with her decision, to honor the agreement that her great grandfather made with Frank Hamer. That agreement, prevents the release of any video or stills that Charles Baker took on that morning in 1934, before the date specified by Hamer. She was intent on preserving the integrity of Charles Baker, Frank Hamer, other members of the posse, and Bonnie & Clyde. Now for the first time, there is third party proof out there that a photographer was with the posse. Mrs. Bateman once again, wants to make the general public aware that there is what she calls, little people out there. These little people believe it is their God-given right to control what information is released about Bonnie & Clyde. They try to accomplish this by attacking new books that contain fresh information. This book was attacked when it was originally released in 2010, and she expects the same thing will happen again. The attacks are in the form of hate literature against the author and the book.This updated book release contains all the new information that was in the 2010 release, plus newer information that was added in 2015.

When the Clyde Ran Red paints a vivid picture of the heady days when revolution was in the air on Clydeside. Through the bitter strike at the huge Singer Sewing machine plant in Clydebank in 1911, Bloody Friday in Glasgow’s George Square in 1919, the General Strike of 1926 and on through the Spanish Civil War to the Clydebank Blitz of 1941, the people fought for the right to work, the dignity of labour and a fairer society for everyone. They did so in a Glasgow where overcrowded tenements stood no distance from elegant tea rooms, art galleries, glittering picture palaces and dance halls. Red Clydeside was also home to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Glasgow Style and magnificent exhibitions showcasing the wonders of the age. Political idealism and artistic creativity were matched by industrial endeavor: the Clyde built many of the greatest ships that ever sailed, and Glasgow locomotives pulled trains on every continent on earth. In this book Maggie Craig puts the politics into the social context of the times and tells the story with verve, warmth and humour.
There is barely a corner of the five great oceans where Clyde-built is not recognised as the ultimate shipbuilding accolade. As late as the 1950s, around a seventh of the total of the world’s sea going tonnage was built on the Clyde. It is not a particularly wide river, nor spectacularly long – it is certainly no Mississippi or Amazon – but its fame is legendary.From the many yards on its banks, north and south, en route from the gentle hills of Lanarkshire to the Firth of Clyde, came engineering innovation and fabled names in shipping – iconic vessels like the Cutty Sark and the Delta Queen, fearsome warships like the mighty Hood, and the cream of the world’s great liners, the Cunard Queens and the beautiful white Empress vessels. All that and cargo carrying workhorses that opened up the world.More recent times have seen the phoenix-like revival of Ferguson Shipbuilders, the last remaining yard on the Lower Clyde, saved from closure by industrialist Jim McColl and now investing in the hybrid technology of the future that has thrown a lifeline to this once great yard.This is the fascinating, often turbulent, story of a great river, its great ships and the folk who built them.
