Their calculated rise to power involved fear, extortion, violence and murder as-well as developing a cult like celebrity status, which thrived in the heart of the swinging 60s nightclub scene and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough some may say their story may have been told many times over, the crime scene locations and background in which their lives unfolded and evolved has been largely abandoned to the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in over half a century we can finally uncover what still remains of Britain's most notorious brothers in crime and using the original police reports, eyewitness testimony and files from the public archives we aim in this book to separate fact from fiction to present the real story behind the 'Firm'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrue crime and social historians Richard C Cobb and Mark Davis return to the Krays old stomping ground in East London and take the reader behind the scenes on a step by step journey through the avenues and alleyways of their \"Manor\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the past meets the present, they uncover key locations forgotten in time and present the truth about the rise and demise of the Kray brothers.
