About this book
The early part of the book concerns his uncles, Wag and Wal McDonald, who took part in the racing gang battles with the Sabini gang between the World Wars. His uncle Wag ran off to California, where he became bodyguard to Charlie Chaplin and other movie stars, and to Mafia boss Jack Dragna. This is one of the best accounts of Britain's gangland, written by someone who knew what it really was like.
