The Real Gangs and Gangsters [electronic resource] : The True Story of Britain’s Most Notorious Street Gangs
Chinn, Carl2025
eBook
By the spring of 2024, it will be four and a half years since the publication of Chinn's Sunday Times number 1 best-selling Peaky Blinders. The Real Story. Adopting a chronological approach, it covered the origins of Birmingham's backstreet gangs in the late 1860s through the late 20th century. This much-awaited fourth book in the bestselling series, Peaky Blinders: The Real Gangsters and Gangs will differ by taking a thematic approach and intends to delve far more deeply into the crimes as well as the political issues at the heart of this pre-war period.Focusing on the historical backstreet gangs of Birmingham before 1914, it will delve more deeply into the worst peaky blinders and the real gangs whose bloody feuds, murders and maiming, baiting of police officers, gendered violence, indiscriminate bullying, blackmailing of publicans and music hall managers, and disturbing roles in political riots and racist attacks made Birmingham infamous as the city of the peaky blinders.
