RONNIE KRAY A Man Among Men

Hardback, 1st edn. Foreword by Barbara Windsor. Ronnie Kray was one half of the most notorious gangster duo of all time. He and his brother Reggie ruled the East End of London in the 1950s, and their crimes and vendettas, showdowns and rivalries, have become the stuff of legend. The author knew the Krays since childhood, and remained Ronnie's closest friend through his life. Just before his death in 1995, Ronnie asked Laurie to tell his true story, drawing on his personal collection of 1000s of unpublished letters, poems and photographs amassed over the years. This book is the result. It is not a hastily assembled cuttings job culled from third-hand accounts, but an authentic and personal insight into a unique man which is as revealing as it is disturbing. Illus., Appendix and Index. 280pp. 8vo. As New in dw.
