Softcover. SIGNED. Foreword by "Mad" Frank Fraser. The life story of Great Train Robber Tommy Wisbey. This book is by and about a man who was involved in the most famous robbery of all time. It happened over 60yrs ago and still captures the imagination of the world today. Its the story of the ambush of the overnight Scotland to London travelling Post Office express and has become known as The Great Train Robbery. It tells the truth about that night, its build up and aftermath, where nearly as many eyebrows were raised over the sentences handed out as for the crime itself. There is more to this book than that though, just as there is to Tommy Wisbey. It tells the story of a man who has led a life of crime and paid the penalty, a man who is much more than a train robber, a man who is a husband, father and friend to many and ultimately its the story of a man who ended up on the Wrong Side Of The Tracks. Illus. 178pp. softcover. PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY TOMMY WISBEY. F. with no creasing to covers.
