Inhaltsangabe
Ronnie and Reggie Kray were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1968. Since then comedians have based their characters on them, producers have made films about them, even colleges have societies named after them. This book explores how and why they have become such icons, whether they were really the crazed killers they have been represented as and whether they became victims of their own circumstances. The book details why they were put away, the true extent of their crimes, the last 30 years spent in prison, the rumours of duplicitous dealings from their prison cells and answers why Charlie Kray turned to drugs and why, to many women, the Krays have such an attraction. It aims to go behind the scenes to discover the world of the twins through psychological profiling, to study the sociology of the East End of London, investigate the true importance of the Krays, with the assistance of Scotland Yard and to predict the future for the Kray myth and their legacy to society.

THE KRAY FILES
Anbieter: Loretta Lay Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. Banged up for life in 1968, the Kray twins became part of the Establishment. Comedians based their characters on the Krays, directors made films about them, football teams asked them to be their managers, even colleges had societies named after them. So why did they become such icons? Were Ron and Reg really crazy killers who dealt severely with anyone who complicated their sordid lives, or were they just East-End lads who became victims of their own circumstances. In this book Colin Fry unravels the secret of time, from the past through to 1998 and into the future, including why they were put away; the true extent of their crimes; the truth about the previous 30 years, which Ron and Reg spent at the expense of the country whilst making a quiet fortune through duplicitious dealings; the answer to why Charlie Kray turned to drugs as his only way out of a life of depravation and misery; and the reason why some women have found the Krays to have a fatal attraction. For the first time ever, an author went behind the scenes to discover the world of the twins through psychological profiling; to study the sociology of the East End of London through the eyes of the academics; to investigate the true impact of the Krays; and to predict the future for the Kray myth and examine their legacy to society. Illus. 224pp. 8vo. h/back. Nr. F. in vg+ dw. which shows sl. signs of being 'bumped' at head/tail of sp. Review copy with loosely inserted slip. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 11413
