Synopsis: The Kray twins were Britain's most notorious gangsters. For a decade, they were the gang lords of the London underworld. Their reign of terror ended on March 8, 1969, when Ronnie and Reg were sentenced to life with the recommendation that they serve at least 30 years. Ronnie ended his days in Broadmoor - his raging insanity only controlled by massive doses of drugs. Reg has served almost three decades in some of Britain's toughest jails. But the men whose name was a byword for fear have never revealed the truth about their violent life and times - until now. In Our Story, they set the record straight. In their own words, they tell the full story of their brutal careers in crime and their years behind bars. Compiled from a series of interviews behind prison wall, Our Story is the book that finally explodes the myths that have surrounded the Kray twins |

Synopsis: From inside the secure wing at Broadmoor Hospital, the silent Kray twin speaks out for the first time... 'They were the best years of our lives. They called them the Swinging Sixties. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were rulers of pop music. Carnaby St. ruled the fashion world...and me and my brother ruled London. We were f****** untouchable.' My Story is defiant, unrepentant and often shocking. With this book, the story of the most notorious criminal gang in British history is at last complete. Born in the East End, Reg and Ron Kray rose to become the leaders of one of the most violent and feared gangs ever to terrorise London. Sentenced alongside his brother to a minimum of 30 years for murder in 1969, Ron Kray spent less than ten years in prison. Declared criminally insane, he was transferred to Broadmoor in 1979, never to be released. He died in 1995, the year after this book was published |
