In this gripping memoir, Reggie Kray—one half of the infamous Kray twins who terrorized London’s East End during the 1950s and ’60s—reflects on his youth in an intimate portrait of a changing urban community. Written in the early 1990s but unpublished until now, these lost memoirs offer an authentic look at the characters who shaped his childhood, the neighborhood haunts, and the early influences on his criminal life. Co-authored with Peter Gerrard, the narrative paints a vivid picture of post-war East End London, blending personal anecdotes with social history for a compelling read.
