The Kray Twins were a formidable criminal partnership, shrewd, quicj-witted, and ruthless, their reputation spread far beyond the mean streets of their territory of Whitechpael and Bethnal Green. John Dickson arrived in london from Edinburgh in 1964, looking for work....and adventure. He soon found it in the pubs and card clubs of the East End, where he met and got to know the twins and members of the 'firm'. He was, for many years, a close and trusted henchman of the Krays, and was the man who drove Ronnie to the Blind Beggat pub the night that George Cornell was shot. In this explosive book, Dickson tells the inside story of Ronnie and Reggie's gangland underworld. He recounts the increasingly erratic and senselessly violent behaviour of the twins, and their final arrest, which came at a time when they had thought they were invincible. Although it might read like a thriller, this book is based entirely on fact, and it is an illuminating insight into two of the most infamous characters who have ever inhabited the murky netherworld of prfessional crime.

Couple of slight creases to cover. This book tells the stories of crimes committed in the frenzies and frustrations of love - violent and often tragic endings to a love story that has gone wrong. Passion, lealously, revenge, and despair are the themes, and the eternal triangle is often the pattern. Here are true-life tales of romance, mystery and horror, sometimes - because love is blind and foolish - with an element of farce. Not all crimes of passion are impulses of the moment. Sometimes the rage in the heart pulls the strings of a cool and calculating mind....The author conveys vividly the historical and social setting of these dramatic happenings and writes with understanding and compassion.

Each of these elite characters is different, and each has a unique tale to tell, yet all of them have one thing in common - they inhabit a world that few of us would date to venture into.

In the current conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, British's special forces are on the front line. These heroes are so respected that they are even called upon by the Americans when a particularly difficult and dangerous job has to be done. Time after time they have proved their worth on the battlefield, confirming that their commitment and professionalism are second to none. Military expert Nigel Cawthorne looks at the crucial role that the British special forces have played since the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
