Summary

London's most notorious gangsters, in their own words . . .

The Sunday Times top 10 best seller.

The Kray twins were Britain's most notorious gangsters. Ruling London's underworld for more than a decade, as gang lords they were among the most powerful and feared men in the city. Photographed by David Bailey and even interviewed for television, they became celebrities in their own right and are infamous to this day.

Ronnie and Reg's reign of terror ended on 8th March 1969 when they 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 served almost three decades in some of Britain's toughest jails before being released on compassionate grounds in August 2000. He died of cancer eight months later.

Compiled from a series of interviews with Fred Dinenage from behind prison walls, Our Story is the classic account that explodes the myths surrounding the Kray twins. In it, the twins set the record straight. In their own words they tell the full story of their brutal career of crime and their years behind bars. With an introduction from Fred Dinenage, this compelling, disturbing and highly enjoyable book is the definitive story of two legendary criminals.

Decent listen

Decent listen, a lot I didn’t know about the krays story. Towards the end it’s a bit of a plea saying I don’t deserve this, i don’t deserve to be doing a life sentence etc etc. Good listen all round though.

Great book

Only those involved know the real truth but great read. Coming from the east end and knowing certain people involved i found it a very interesting book. Trouble is one persons truth is the same as another persons truth.

very articulate. Narration is top class

I loved how they switched between Reg and then Ron in the book. Sadly, they heald a lot back from what they revealed in later years. A few discrepancies from things they came out with during the passage of time. However, you need to remember how old this book is. It was lovely to hear about their thoughts, feelings and memories which didn't even have anything to do with the murders. In a couple of recent books, you will be surprised at different things revealed. Those books were the reason I decided to read this. give it a go

Informative and entertaining

Thoroughly enjoyed this.
However, I’m still not convinced that they both only killed one person, but as Ron said, that is the truth…
