Alcatraz: History and Design of a Landmark by Donald Macdonald
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I enjoyed the history in this book. It actually told more about the island than I anticipated. I was disappointed that there weren’t photos, only illustrations. I understand that a lot of the landscaping and the buildings have changed over time, but current photos next to the artist’s rendition would have been nicer and would have given a clearer idea of what the changes are.
The book would be good for anyone wishing to know the history and landscape of the island.
