Book Description
A fresh, new look at gangs in every part of the world which deliberately avoids the stories that have been done to death – about Capone, Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde – and focuses on less well-known gangs such as ‘Ma’ Barker’s Boys; the Smaldones of Denver; Scotland Yard’s 1960s’ Flying Squad, the so-called Firm within a Firm; Dr Death, the Melbourne drug dealer and Andre Stander, the former South African police officer who led a gang of bank robbers before being shot dead in Fort Lauderdale having fled a 17-year sentence.
