" illustrated. This is 'Reggie's' story, a diary of his life, with reflections on the past and the role he found for himself 'on the inside'. It is a story of courage and remorse, revelation, and friendship. For the first time, he speaks of his marriage to Roberta, as well as his brothers Ron and Charlie. Twin brothers Ronnie' Kray (1933-95), and Reggie Kray (1933-Date: 2000), were gangsters who were the foremost perpetrators of organized crime in the East End of London during the 1950s and 1960s. As West End nightclub owners, they mixed with prominent entertainers including Diana Dors, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland, and with politicians. The Krays were much feared within their milieu, and in the 1960s became celebrities in their own right, even being photographed by David Bailey and interviewed on television. They were arrested on 9th May 1968 and convicted in 1969 by the efforts of a squad of detectives led by Detective Superintendent Leonard 'Nipper' Read and were both sentenced to life imprisonment. Ronnie remained in Broadmoor Hospital until his death on 17th March 1995, but Reggie was released from prison on compassionate grounds in August 2000, eight weeks before his death from cancer, and just before this book was published.
