Book Description
The compelling story of the man who masterminded the Great Train Robbery
The compelling story of the man who masterminded the Great Train Robbery
'His story stands apart ... skilful enough to capture both the immediate excitement of crime and the dull price it so often extracts' Laurie Taylor, The Times
8 August, 1963; a railway track in Buckinghamshire. The moon shines clearly over Bruce Reynolds and sixteen other men robbing a train of its sacks of money. The Great Train Robbery has entered British folklore as one of the most audacious, and extraordinary, crimes of the twentieth century. The haul - #2,631,684 - is, in today's money, a staggering #26 million. Bruce Reynolds, the leader of the gang, was sentenced to 25 years in prison; even the Commissioner of the Met, Sir Robert Mark, thought that excessive.
Since leaving school in 1946, Bruce Reynolds dreamt of adventure: minor crimes at first, small-scale smash-and-grabs, but soon he was running a top-class firm. Although they committed a succession of lucrative, high-profile robberies, it wasn't nearly enough. Bruce Reynolds wanted more.
The Autobiography of a Thief is the story of a professional criminal, and the murky world around him - it's funny, touching, illuminating, and shocking.
'Far superior in style and narrative to the standard self-serving criminal memoir' Duncan Campbell, Guardian
