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.
