Crime in the Second World War by Penny Legg
The outbreak of war saw criminals exploiting the emergency conditions and those with a previously unblemished reputation tempted into crime. Penny Legg shows how and why crime was committed during the Second World War and what became of those Spivs, Scoundrels, Rogues and Worse who strayed into the underworld.
Penny Legg, in her terrific book, shows that the truth was far, far removed from what we saw in Dad's Army…This book is a revelation, something of an eye-opener, and well worth a look* Books Monthly *
This handsomely illustrated book is set to become a standard work on a dark, intriguing and fascinating topic. * Peter Lovesey, Crime writer and past chairman of the Crime Writers’ Association *
