The Profession of Violence

Reggie and Ronald Kray ruled London's gangland during the 1960s with a ruthlessness and viciousness that shocks even now. Building an empire of crime and terror with their gang "The Firm", the Krays' reign of intimidation spanned the decade, during which they also rose to prominence as celebrity nightclub owners. Socializing with politicians, sportsmen, and stars like Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra in the posh West End, they ruled both the underworld and the swinging sixties London scene. 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.
