Product Description
Synopsis
Daring, ingenuity, prison, escapes, on the run, kidnap, drugs, murder, suicide and revenge - these are all facets contained in this visual documentary of great train robberies portrayed by the media from 1963 to the present. The book tells many stories within this story, providing an insight and study into one of our most enduring contemporary legends and illustrates the mythology that has grown up via the media. Here the robbery is used as a point of reference in time, a device used to illustrate the machinations of the media then and now, and its social and cultural impact. It includes press photos, press articles of the robbery, the discovery of the farm, the money found, Ronnie Biggs' escape, his near kidnap, the trials, the escapes, Buster on the run in Mexico, Bruce Reynolds on the run, Buster's suicide, Charlie Wilson's murder, Biggs' 70th birthday and a scrap yard of clippings not necessarily about the robbery but with those involved such as books and film launches, records, TV shows and commercial items.
