Head of spine of dustwrapper slightly creased and rubbed. Dustwrapper bright and unfaded, with just a slight shadow from a removed sticker on the back panel. ***224mm x 142mm. 160 pages. ***The Great Train Robbery, it might be supposed, would have passed into history as securely as the exploits of Dick Turpin, but for two awkward facts: first that the main criminals in the case continue to make the headlines; second, and even more important, that the story of how and why the robbers came together, how the train was robbed, how and why the gang was caught, has never been written. There are many good reasons for this: the only people who know are behind bars or out of the country or simply not telling; libel writs hang over the heads of diligent inquirers; untruths multiply and the truth itself is all but lost.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper. This first [of many] books on the Great Train Robbery is uncommon in such nice collectable condition, with an unfaded spine.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1972, Inside the Underworld gives a general picture of the underworld, showing it as it really is, stripped of romanticism and popular misconceptions-a non-stop resistance movement against the forces of law and order, whose ranks include both the weak and the strong, the skilled and the bungling.How do robbers, con-men, and heisters function What makes a top gang Is underworld society different from ordinary society What kind of clubs do criminals frequent What is their taste in clothes, in girls, in jokes Is the modern criminal most at home in Mayfair, Cannes, or Soho What happens to his wife, his girls, his family when he goes to prison Can he get policemen to take bribes or turn a blind eye to flagrant crimes Questions such as these are answered as Peta Fordham unfolds her panorama of the underworld, and the reader will be able to learn many of the humdrum, sad and funny facts of life on the wrong side of the law. The author introduces an amazing variety of underworld characters, refugees from 'straight society' as well as callous and compulsive villains. Among her vignettes is the story of the young man who was largely responsible for changing the nature of British criminal expertise.Mrs Fordham shows in considerable detail the changing attitudes of the underworld to the law, the police, to violence, and to international gangsterism.…
