“Insightful, angry, straightforward, reminiscent of the subterranean classic, You Can’t Win by Jack Black—Daley’s BlueJacket pulls no punches describing a long life as fascinating as it is heartbreaking in its details.”—Jack Womack, Random Acts of Senseless Violence
"Brilliant book... a book of history that suggests that in the right hands anyone could be plucked from the crowd and in the proper hands and mind written into an iconic figure in a wide-ranging book of history and sociology, and, inevitably psychology."—Rick Harsch, The Manifold Destiny of Eddie Vegas
“This book is not only a fascinating and richly detailed biography of a wily child of the Great Depression who at an early age drifted into a life of serious crime and serious punishment, it is also an intimate portrait of his complex emotional and intellectual life. Bobby BlueJacket. The story is as good as the sound of his beautiful name.”—Ron Padgett, Bean Spasms and Oklahoma Tough: My Father, King of the Tulsa Bootleggers
“It’s a compelling read, full of violence and heart.”—Joshua Kline, This Land Press
“An amazing cultural history as much as it is a story of Bobby BlueJacket.”—Rich Fisher, Public Radio Tulsa
