First off I will say that if you are looking for a book about the krays, then this is not the book for you. They are mentioned very briefly a couple of times but that is it, this book mainly focuses on the time period from the late 1800s to the 1950s. I have never read any books about British gangs before and thought that i would start with this one because it was well reviewed. It is very informative, tells you a lot about different gangsters and gangs and debunks a lot of lies and misinformation that have been said in other books. My only issues with this book is that there is so many different gangs and gangsters been mentioned that I tend to forget who is with who, but if you have a good memory then you probably won't have any issues with that. The other issue I have is that there could have been a lot more pictures of all the different people mentioned in the book, you do get about 6 pages worth of pictures but given how many people are talked about, there could have been more. All in all this is a must read for anybody interested in London's gangland history. 8/10Read full review
