The classic, bestselling account of the infamous Kray twins, now a major film, LEGEND, starring Tom Hardy.
Reggie and Ronald Kray ruled London's gangland during the 1960s with a ruthlessness and viciousness that shocks even now. Building an empire of organised crime such as nobody has done before or since, the brothers swindled, intimidated, terrorised, extorted and brutally murdered. John Pearson explores the strange relationship that bound the twins together, and charts their gruesome career to their downfall and imprisonment for life in 1969.
Now expanded to include further extraordinary revelations, including the unusual alliance between the Kray twins and Lord Boothby – the Tory peer who won £40,000 in a libel settlement when he denied allegation of his association with the Krays – The Profession of Violence is a truly classic work.
John Pearson is also the author of All the Money in the World (previously titled Painfully Rich), now a major motion picture directed by Ridley Scott film and starring Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg and Christopher Plumber (nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor).

The Profession of Violence The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins eBook John Pearson Reviews
Excellent depiction of the Kray brothers.Lays the foundation for the brilliant movie Legend starring Tom Hardy playing both brothers
His performance is magical
An easy read that gives the background of the Krays up until the 90s.
This was a well written book, but the ending is a bit abrupt. Good narrative and strong characters.
Very informative compared to the Tom Hardy movie Legend. The Kray brothers ruled parts of London with brains and brawn. And the connections of the twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray is so realistic. If you want to learn more about the Kray twins that is not in the movie then this is the book for you.
Just a sad story about these two brothers that resorted to a life of violence instead of using their minds to investing in the legitimate world. I sure hope Reggie truly did find God before he died.
What a messed up pair of twins, they really didn't have a chance at being much more than what they became because of their mind set. I think Reggie could have been a good man if he had been left alone to do so. Ronnie's illness prevented him from being good.
The only thing that bothered me about this purchase was that it started out costing $6.95 and when I first bought it I paid $7.00. I was then notified it was no longer in stock and when I went back the next day it was in stock but the cost was now $30.00. When I got it it was a much used library book from Kansas. The only reason the price went up was because Tom Hardy is making a movie about the twins in London as I write based on this very book. Greed is a very sad thing.
Brilliant but devastating history of Kray twins. Separated Ron would have been London's answer to Capone for his ruthless ambition to be the best gangster. Reg would have turned out to be a very savvy businessman. Sadly, together, they simply destroyed each other and anyone attached to them. That includes Pearson, the author, whose life was demolished for merely stating the facts about their involvement with celebrities, politicians and law. Actor Tom Hardy, who plays both twins in "Legends" based on the book should get a nomination for a seamless performance.
