Description
London's gang warfare was a brutal and complex phenomenon that predated the infamous Krays. In the early 20th century, rival gangs clashed in violent battles over territory and pride. The Bethnal Green Boys, Hackney's Broadway Boys, Clerkenwell, Somers Town, the Red Hands, and the Silver Hatchets were just a few of the many street mobs that roamed the city. This book offers a gripping and detailed account of these street gangs, revealing the intricate web of alliances, rivalries, and conflicts that defined their world. With a focus on the social and historical context of the time, the author sheds light on the violent underbelly of one of the world's great cities. By exploring the history of London's gang warfare, this book provides a unique insight into the city's complex social landscape and the factors that shaped its most notorious gangs.
