The spectacular trial of the high-profile Kray brothers blew the lid off th e London Underworld of the 1950s and 60s. But what of the great city's gang land before and since In this comprehensive and thoroughly researched hist ory of London's secret life, James Morton exposes some startling conclusion s about exactly who lurked - and still lurks - in the powerhouses of the Un derworld. From the Dover Road Gang of the 1880s to the era of the Krays and up to the Triads and Yardies of the present, GANGLAND reveals the people w ho ruled, robed and regulated vast areas of the capital - and those who hol d ominous power today. Fascinating accounts are recorded - many from contem poraries of the controllers of vice in Soho, of contract killers, bank robb ers, drug dealers, grasses and supergrasses - and of the crooked police off icers and lawyers who helped them perpetuate the Underworld structure.
