The Secrets of The Krays - My Life in The Firm
The Secrets of The Krays - My Life in The Firm | John Dickson
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
The inside story of life with the Krays 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 go to know the twins and the 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 Beggar 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. The Secrets of the Krays is an illuminating and thrilling journey into the world of the East End's most notorious sons.

Throughout this book, John Dickson describes how he came to London and he joined the ‘firm‘ with the Kray twins at the helm.

Obviously what follows is John‘s version of events and how he perceived them to be.

It was a really interesting book and has fascinating insights into the gangster lifestyle and lack of trust, fear and expectations of life within the Firm.
