Product Information

Bloodshed aside, Freddie's oftern humorous stories reveal a caring man who belives that violence is a last resort and who always treated people with respect. Revealed in these pages are the amazing details of the heists, the double crossings, the shoot-outs and the betrayals that accompanied life as a career criminal when the streets were controlled by fear. Exposed are the audacious plans behind the century's most famous crimes, the damning evidence of police corruption and the eye-opening events that gave Freddie the most revered reputation.

  • Memoirs of an oxygen thief.

    I suppose this book offers some insight into the mind of a vicious criminal. There are some parts which might actually be true, but, a lot of it is just sour grapes and bragging. I am glad I only paid a pittance, none of which went to the people who concocted it.
