Born Fighter

By Reggie Kray

Book Overview

Reg Kray is one of Britain's most notorious criminals. Together with his brother Ron, he rose through the ranks of London's East End gangland to run an evil empire of vice and villainy. But, after half a lifetime behind bars, Reg wants to set the record straight. Here, in his own words, is the true story of his life as one half of a criminal double act with his brother Ron, the chilling career of two street-wise kids who became standard-bearers of violence--from fire-bombings to shootings and cold-blooded murder. But here, too, is the inner voice of a one-time mobster who learned compassion through his own struggle to come to terms with a life sentence.

An amazing read!

If you want to know what it was really like for Reggie Kray then get this book. You will not want to but it down! This is one of the best books I have ever read. Even if you're not a Kray fan this book is still worth buying because it helps you to understand his/ their (Ronnie Reggie and Charlie) lives. And it also is interesting to read about emotions and thoughts. So buy this book, I don't think you will regret it!

Reg makes his peace

As an American, I found this book of great value. For an outsider, the Eastend's fabled lore is brought to light. Reg Kray (for his notorious history) writes like a true author. Many of the Kray twins' activities are finally documented in the first person and with wonderful description. Definitely a good read, if you are interested in the glamour of London in the 60's and the Krays in particular.

'Born Fighter' - best Kray book yet

I have read many books of this type before, but this one has been the best. It uses quotes from many close friends and family of the Krays. It goes to great depth of many events in the young lives of the Krays. I would recomend this book to anyone interested in the Krays or anyone who wants to find out about the great history of London's Eastend.
