How An Undercover Unit Infiltrated The Global Drug Trade
AvGuy Stanton
Häftad, Engelska, 2022
121 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
For years London gangster Guy Stanton operated at the top of the drugs trade, moving huge shipments around the world. Yet all along he was living a perilous double life - 'Stanton' was the fake identity of a covert investigator in deep infiltration as part of Britain's most secret undercover unit. Their clandestine exploits have never been revealed - until now. The Betrayer is the authentic account of a ground-breaking assault on the world's most brutal narcos and of the courage, camaraderie (and humour) of the men and women who took the War on Drugs deep into the heart of the enemy.

First came the Teds, then the Mods and the Rockers, then Hippies, Skinheads and Punks.

Definitively tracing the roots of this inner-city Liverpool movement through first-person interviews with the main 'faces' of the gangs, Casuals explains how these hooligans evolved through the working-class fascination with sharp dressing to form bitter rivalries across England. With 16 pages of photos.'

Traces the roots of Nottingham's gangs, revealing how economic dislocation and the clash of cultures between working class white residents and black immigrants from the 1950s onwards created an alienated underclass who turned to crime.

In the mid-1950s, Britain was gripped by the sudden terror of its own youth. As if from nowhere, gangs of young men, dressed in a remarkable new fashion, emerged to turn the streets, dance halls and fairgrounds into battlefields. The Teddy Boys had arrived. Soon they were blamed for a rising tide of post-War crime. Then the arrival of rock 'n' roll sparked rioting and further condemnation. Yet others saw the Teds as a positive sign of an independent generation, and similar fads were embraced in other countries. Their legacy survives today.

In 1872, the boom-town of Birmingham, known as the `workshop of the world', erupted in a series of gang wars. Mobs of youths, armed with stones, heavy-buckled belts and knives, fought pitched battles on the streets in a desperate struggle for territorial supremacy. The `sloggers' were the hooligans of their day, and for 30 years they held the streets in a grip of fear. Gooderson traces the gangs' emergence in Cheapside around 1870, through the Bordesely Riot of 1874 to the brutal antics of the Simpson brothers of Aston and the cop-killer George 'Cloggy' Williams.

His story captivated the nation in the way the racehorse Seabiscuit's would a few years later. Braddock's rags-to-riches success led Damon Runyon to call him 'the Cinderella Man'.
