Product Description
Product Description
This text presents the lives of Viv Graham and Lee Duffy, two men who fiercely resented each other and were sworn enemies. Both ran parallel lives as pub and club enforcers raging their gangland turf wars with a fierce frenzy of brutality and unremitting cruelty. Engaging each other in a vicious organized brawl would be the ultimate challenge. Warfare and combat would mean bloodshed and carnage - both men met brutal and violent deaths.

viv the hero,
By A Customer
This review is from: Viv Graham and Lee Duffy's Parallel Lives (Hardcover)
I live in Newcastle and if you mention vivs name to someone they shut up. Viv was a real hardman gangsta , but he was also a proper family man and had a heart of gold he loved his kids more than anything. I feel so sorry for Vivs family after his tragic death in 1993 he left behind 3 kids in the nortorious westend of newcastle, Viv made his way up to be the hardest and most feared man in the north east. If Viv was after you, you knew you were in serious trouble. This is an amazing book about a true north east hardman with strong family values.

"parrallel lives" the true story of Viv Graham and Lee Duffy,
By MR J DIXON (Hartlepool United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Viv Graham and Lee Duffy's Parallel Lives (Hardcover)
Having read all 3 of the other Stephen Richards books on the tyneside hardman Viv Graham ,It was a must for me to read the auto-biographies of Viv Graham and Lee"the duffer" Duffy.This Book goes indepth into the lives of these infamous hardmen and tells how both men wanted to get out of the game, but were unable, because they were to deeply involved.Indepth interveiws are held with close friends and relatives, of both men showing another side to there nature,both being family men.It also tells of how both men had several attempts made on their lives.This was a really intresting book, more so for me as i still remember the days when i heard about the murders of both men.My wife's uncle was a close friend of Viv's.You really need to read this book to find out what really made these men tick. There are also intrviews with other infamous local hardmen such as Ernie Berwick from Sunderland and " Big Bri" Cockerill from Stockton on Tees.Star Rating a Fantastic 5 out of 5

Not good value for money,
By
This review is from: Viv Graham and Lee Duffy's Parallel Lives (Hardcover)
Although this book is detailed it appears to be written by someone who has little understanding of the English language, however it is the only real book to give you an insight into Geordie gangsters, so if yo uare interested in that then give it a go and just take the book at face value
