Peaky Blinders: The Aftermath
The Real Story Behind the Next Generation of British Gangsters
Carl Chinn New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
As the Roaring Twenties gave way to the Great Depression, new criminal organizations sprang up and fought for control of London’s underworld: the Italian Gang, the King’s Cross Gang, the Hoxton Gang, and Alfie Solomon’s Jewish mobsters. Drawing on newspapers and court proceedings, this third volume profiles the men who terrorized the capital’s nightclubs, dog tracks and betting shops.
Product information
Full publisher description
From the Sunday Times bestselling author, Carl Chinn
As Britain emerges into the mid-twentieth century, change is afoot. Cities are beginning to shift from smog-filled industrial hubs to more efficient metropolitan centres of commerce and, despite the country once again being blighted by war, society is beginning to shift towards a more modern, forward-thinking era. But change is not only limited to regular men and women; under the shifting tides of development, the criminal underbelly, too, is evolving, anxious for new avenues of exploitation and expansion . . .
And so, in the third instalment of his best-selling series, historian Carl Chinn examines this new era in the landscape of Britain's gangs. After the violent reign of the Peaky Blinders, the intimidation of the Birmingham gang and frequent gang wars up and down the country, from the wreckage new groups are emerging with new ways of making money and causing trouble, and, like those who came before them, they leave havoc and destruction in their wake.
Peaky Blinders: The Aftermath will bring this new generation of criminals into focus. And up and down the length of the country, from the dog tracks to the pubs of the East End, it delves into the murky world of the country's most villainous criminals.
