Description

The Krays: The Prison Years by David Meikle and Kate Beal Blyth is a fascinating exploration of the notorious gangsters who ruled London's underworld in the 1960s. After being found guilty of murder, Ronnie and Reggie Kray were sentenced to life in prison, but their determination to make their stay historic led them to earn more money inside than they ever did on the streets. While locked up, the twins continued to operate as gangsters, selling branded merchandise and allowing books and films about their lives to be published. Despite their mother's death and the loss of associates and friends, the brothers' violence remained ingrained, making it difficult for them to leave their past behind. This book delves into the largely untold story of the Kray twins following their imprisonment. The Krays: The Prison Years offers a unique insight into the lives of two men who were once Britain's most feared gangsters, and the ways in which they adapted to life inside prison.
