The Profession Of Violence. The Rise And Fall Of The Kray Twins - Poche

Reggie and Ronald Kray ruled London's gangland during the 1960s with a ruthlessness and viciousness that shocks even now. Building an empire of organized crime such as nobody has done before or since, the brothers swindled, intimidated, terrorized, extorted and brutally murdered. John Pearson explores the strange relationship that bound the twins together, and charts their gruesome career to their downfall and imprisonment for life in 1969. Now expanded to include further extraordinary revelations, including the truth about the unusual alliance between the Kray twins and Lord Boothby - the Tory peer who won £40,000 damages in a libel settlement when he denied allegations of his association with the Krays - " Profession of Violence " is a truly classic work.
