191.My Story by: Ronald Kray, Fred Dinenage
September 10, 1993
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Books : My Story
Ive been facinated by the krays for many years now and ive just started collecting and reading books on them again.
My story by Ron Kray i found intresting but as i read and read more and more books i tend to see that Ronnie was by his own admission a very ill man.
I really dont think that he was in touch with reality.
One thing im sure of is Ron and his twin were responsible for more killings than they put their hands up too that im 100% sure on.

As for them being a threat to society after 30 years i will have to say i dont think so they would have been eaten alive by the current rulers of the underworld who are far more violent and vicious than the twins and the firm ever was and thats a fact.

I've read quite a bit on Salvatore Giuliano. Even the Puzo novel titled "The Sicilian" where Giuliano comes off as quite a hero. And in alot of ways he was. But this book gives the most unbiased view of him i've ever read and then leaves it to the reader to decide. It's very surprising after learning about such a guy that he is still very unknown in history whilst Che Guevara catches the hearts of so many still today.

Also, not only did he fight for Sicilian independance he actually tried to annex Sicilia to USA to be (at the time) the 49th state.

It's a great read and some very interesting pictures although in black and white.

Adsk says - thumbs up, check it out.

My son - ex military - loved this book ( maybe because he hadn`t read the first one - i don`t know..) It`s not my sort of book but i had a quick read through it and i must admit i rather enjoyed it. A few funny bits, some hilarious stories and some blood curdling ones, but mainly a history that deserves to be remembered..
Thumbs up.

Books : Inside the Firm: The Untold Story of the Krays' Reign of Terror
I purchased this book in a second hand book store. It is a very interesting read and highly recommended for a rainy day indoors. Tony Lambrianou displays himself as a wronged man. He had a hard childhood and spent the rest of his life making other people suffer for it.
He enjoyed beating people and being violent. He really believed himself to be highly respected!!!! believing you could "earn" respect, by kicking someone in the face. He also considered himself " a good catholic" although he never went to church and did everything a "Good Catholic" should do, like murdering people, maiming, threatening and of course stealing, not to mention lying.

In my mind he was nothing but a disgusting parasite, stealing and taking by force ... Read More:

Loren Christiansens book is a matter of fact guide to skinheads. Though biased against skinheads, he remains relatively objective throughout the book. While he ignores the nonpolitical side of the skinhead cult, he deserves credit for acknowledge the nonfascist origins of skinheads as well as the attention he pays to antiracist skinhead groups

this is the worse book i haVE ever read by a nobody hanger on who now thinks hes a gangster. eric masons is bad, another one suddenly making himself far more important than they actually were as soon as all the krays were dead and of course theres always bernard o'mahoney, the worst of the worship the krays when alive but slag them as soon as they die brigade but this really is a cringe factor 1oo. no doubt there will be more from wraith, mason and o'mahoney and how they teamed up to see off the krankies. rubbish.
