Klappentext zu „The Real Peaky Blinders: The Legacy “
The Peaky Blinders as we know them, thanks to the hit TV series, are infused with drama and dread. Fashionably dressed, the charismatic but deeply flawed Shelby family blind enemies by slashing them with the disposable safety razor blades stitched in to the peaks of their flat caps, as they fight bloody gangland wars involving Irish terrorists and the authorities led by a devious Home Secretary, Winston Churchill. Well-known social historian, broadcaster and author, Carl Chinn, revealed the true story of the notorious Peaky Blinders in his bestselling The Peaky Blinders: The Real Story and now in this follow-up book, he explores the legacy they created in Birmginham and beyond. Revisit the world of Billy Kimber's Peaky Blinders and the London gangsters Darby Sabini and Alfie Solomon as their burgeoning empires spread across the UK in the 1920s and 30s.
Autoren-Porträt von Carl Chinn
Professor Carl Chinn MBE Ph.D. is a social historian with a national profile, writer, public speaker, and teacher. An off-course bookmaker himself until 1984, he is the son and grandson of illegal bookmakers in Sparkbrook, and the great-grandson of a peaky blinder, whilst his mother's family were factory workers in Aston. His writings are deeply affected by his family's working-class background and life in the back-to-backs of Birmingham and he believes passionately that history must be democratised because each and every person has made their mark upon history and has a story to tell.
