Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In 1981, Detective Inspector Satchwell was the officer in charge of the case against Train Robber Tom Wisbey, and 20 others. The case involved, like the Great Train Robbery, massive thefts from mail trains. Thirty years later their paths crossed again and an unlikely collaboration to reveal the truth about the Great Train Robbery began. This new study reassesses the known facts about one of most infamous crimes in modern history with the uniquely qualified insight of an experienced railway detective, presenting new theories alongside compelling evidence. This is an important, and perhaps final, opportunity to reverse the lies and half-truths that are increasingly becoming accepted as known facts in the story of the Great Train Robbery of 1963. AUTHOR: Graham Satchwell served in every rank of CID within the British Transport Police (1978-1999). For many years he was the detective superintendent, Britain's most senior railway detective. During his service he was awarded numerous commendations by crown court judges, chief constables, and others. He has written two books, 'An Inspector Recalls' for The History Press, and 'A Sick Business Counterfeit Medicines & Organised Crime'. He lives in Hampshire. 12 b/w illustrations A unique collaboration between a retired Great Train Robber and Britains former most senior Railway Detective Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A unique description of crime on the railways across the 1970s, '80s and '90s - gangsters, politics, and police culture. Born in inner-city Birmingham, from an 'impeccable working class pedigree', Graham Satchwell was diagnosed with a serious illness at age 7 a condition which should have barred his entry to the police force. Forty-two years later, he was Britain's senior-most railway detective. In a career that encompassed every CID rank and involved some of the country's toughest gangsters, petty thieves, bomb threats, terrorism, the odd politician and even the Queen, Graham Satchwell has seen it all. Infused with humour and genuine down-to-earth wisdom, An Inspector Recalls is a frank and intimate account of a life spent on the frontier between crime and punishment that recalls the gangsters, politics and often-questionable police culture of the 1970s, '80s and '90s.
