5.0 out of 5 stars A true classic from two of Britains criminal legends, 27 May 2001
By A Customer
"Our story" is one of the most fascinating books that I have ever read,totally impossible to put down once you've started. I have read this book about six times.
The book charts the story of the rise and fall of the brothers Kray from the back streets of the East end of London and their promising boxing careers which lasted until the time they are called up for national service with the Royal Fusiliers. But after months of assaulting various guards and NCOs are dishonourably discharged from the army, an amnesty as Ron called it.
We had a pact said Reg "If we couldn't make it as boxers we'd make it as villains" so they set about with their firm to rise through the ranks of organised crime in London to become one of the most notorious criminal gangs Britain has ever seen. This book told in their own words documents the protection rackets ,extortion ,long firm frauds and links with the American mafia. Punctuated with their legal businesses and many clubs that they owned throughout London and the many well known film stars, celebrities and politicians that naturally seemed to congregate around them. Their violent rise to power to control the London underworld in the sixties, mixed with the East End code of conduct that one should not grass or hurt women or children makes them stand out from the usual lawless gangsters and thugs of today.
Reg with his cool business like manner tells how he killed fellow villain Jack "the hat" McVitie and Ron with his unmistakable brand of humour tells of the night he shot and killed George Cornell a rival gang member from the Richardson gang, two murders that were to seal their fate and spend the rest of their lives in prison on thirty year sentences.
It was with great sadness that Reg (the last surviving Kray twin) passed away at the end of 2000 closing a chapter in British criminal history. For I doubt we will ever see another single gang rise so dramatically as to control the London underworld openly under the noses of the politicians with which they mixed.
I have been a fan of the Kray twins for many years and this book was certainly no disappointment, the reader will be enthralled both in its content and the many photographs assembled in it.
