Description

Portrait of a Bank Robber When Floyd Forsberg lost his father at 10, he turned to shoplifting and burglary to feed his family and fill the void his father left. At 14, he was sent to the Luther Burbank School for Boys for possessing firearms and running away. There, Floyd found himself trapped by a system that sought to destroy his dignity rather than restore his character. From this point forward, Floyd would strive to become the most hardened, disciplined, professional bank robber ever. On one of the rare occasions he wasn't incarcerated, Floyd met Nancy, a golden-haired goddess, the love of his life. Given the choice between loving her and being the greatest bank robber in America, he chose Nancy without hesitation. But before he went straight, he just needed to pull off one last job ... Floyd Forsberg spent his time behind bars planning the biggest bank heist in history and longing for the simple love of his soul mate. When he robbed the First National Bank of Nevada in 1974, he achieved his first goal. But with a million dollars of the bank's money in his hands and the FBI constantly on his tail, he would have to escape "The Toughest Prison of All" to achieve peace. "For years I've known Floyd Forsberg as a reliable source whose every news tip panned out. Now Forsberg has written the best personal indictment of America's horrific prison system that I've read since Ted Conover's 2000 classic, "Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing." Forsberg's plainspoken prose tells a soul-searching tale of survival and transformation that will touch readers from all walks of life. The angry young man determined to be the country's best bank robber has emerged as the sage author of a life story that reads like a thriller and traces his daring escape from "The Toughest Prison of All."" -Richard Read, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, "The Oregonian/Oregonlive" "After 35 years in law enforcement, I have worked with many professional cops and encountered many professional thieves. Floyd Forsberg was one of the best career thieves around and created thousands of headaches for my peers. "The Toughest Prison Of All "is a great read with a twist ending that doesn't happen very often. The insider view of crime taught me things that I had never considered. I'm already looking forward to his next book." -Tom Allman, Sheriff-Coroner of Mendocino County (California) and co-author of "Out There In The Woods" "As a recently retired police sergeant, having served nearly 29 years, I can relate to Frosty's desire to escape prison. Transporting many prisoners to jail, I was always well aware when the gates allowing our vehicle to enter would slam shut, the steel bars to the doors clanging hard and loud as they closed, locking us in with the prisoners and the sign on one prison wall saying, this is not a country club. I, too, couldn't wait to leave. Forsberg will take you from the edge of your couch to a small prison cell to a life on the run and keeping you guessing every step of the way." -Angelo LaManna "When I started reading this book two things became clear: Floyd Forsberg is a very likable guy; and after hearing about his childhood, it was clear he didn't stand a chance to have a normal or easy life. Throughout the entire book I found myself rooting for Floyd to succeed or just to get out of his own way. The part I had the most trouble with was the behavior of the FBI. I think some of us have a hard enough time walking a straight line without people that are supposed to enforce our laws and set the example for the rest of society behaving in questionable and sometimes utterly illegal ways. Hearing about the behavior of those agents doesn't just punish people like Floyd, it also leaves a mark on all of us. It sure left a mark on me." -Tony Onorato
