Kray, Roberta
Reg Kray:A Man Apart
Pan, 2003 isbn 0330491113
Synopsis
Who was the real Reg Kray? Who was the man lost beneath the layers of attitude and opinion, exaggeration and distortion? Why was he destined to spend so much of his life behind bars? His second wife Roberta writes about the Reg she knew, how he became such a vilified figure and what he thought about his past and his strange fame. Drawing on official documents, Reg's correspondence and their own conversations over the years, Roberta Kray sheds light on Reg's personality, his conflict with his brother Ron and his first tragic marriage. She also details the development of her own marriage from her first meeting with Reg in 1996 to his death in October 2000. This book offers a portrait of the real man behind the myth.
