The twins Ron and Reg Kray were arguably the most powerful, violent, and deadly gangsters London has ever known. They ran protection rackets, clubs, and casinos, along with fraudulent "big businesses." They extorted, intimidated, and killed — for years with impunity, thanks to their powerful allies in the Establishment. Working with all five major New York Mafia families, they expanded their operations globally until they were imprisoned for murder in 1968. "The Krays: A Violent Business" includes revealing new material and tells the story of their lives — and the secrets and scandals that the British government still wishes we didn't know.
