Underworld Summary

Underworld: The definitive history of Britain's organised crime by Duncan Campbell

Live on the wrong side of the law with Britain's gangsters, Peaky Blinders, godfathers, robbers, informers, kingpins, vice lords and career criminals

***The Sunday Times Bestseller ***

With stories of murder, theft, fraud and treachery, Underworld is a deep-dive into the history of professional and organised crime in Britain. From the racetrack gangs and the smash-and-grab merchants, through the Soho vice bosses and the Kray twins, to the Great Train Robbers, the Peaky Blinders, the Hatton Garden burglars, millennial gangs and the new wave of international hit-men and drug and sex traffickers, Duncan Campbell exposes the dark underbelly of Britain.

A unique perspective - told by the criminals themselves and the detective who pursued them - this is a definitive history from the very beginning to the present day.
