The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller: The Kray twins' classic account of their brutal reign over London's underworld.
Our Story is the definitive account of Britain's most notorious gangsters, the Kray twins, written in their own words. Ronnie and Reg ruled London's underworld for more than a decade as gang lords, becoming celebrities in their own right. Photographed by David Bailey and interviewed for television, they were among the most powerful and feared men in the city.
Their reign of terror ended on 8 March 1969 when they were sentenced to life with the recommendation that they serve at least thirty years. Ronnie ended his days in Broadmoor, his raging insanity controlled by massive doses of drugs. Reg served almost three decades in some of Britain's toughest jails before being released on compassionate grounds in August 2000, dying of cancer eight months later.
Compiled from behind prison walls, this compelling and disturbing book explodes the myths surrounding the Kray twins. In a series of interviews with Fred Dinenage, Ronnie and Reg set the record straight, telling the full story of their brutal career of crime and years behind bars in their own words. With an introduction from Dinenage, Our Story is a highly readable account from two legendary criminals.
