On Thursday August 8, 1963, fifteen masked men stopped the night train from Glasgow to London and robbed it of 2,500,000 Pounds. It was called the crime of the century, and the thieves were relentlessly pursued by Scotland Yard until half the gang were behind bars service huge prison terms. But the story did not end there. First one, then another escaped in thrilling style and fled abroad, catching the world's imagination and making the Train Robbers into folk heroes. Thirteen years later the gang combined to tell their story, and Piers Paul Read, author of the bestselling Alive, agreed to write it. Here in his brilliant hands is the complete and exclusive story of the century's most audacious crime and its even more sensational aftermath. - and - Here is the complete, exclusive and sensational story of the century's most audacious crime and its even more sensational aftermath. This brilliant book contains not only a thrilling account of the 1963 robbery itself, but an anatomy of the two gangs that combined to pull it off; the role played by each individual; the meticulous planning and the measure of luck. It probes deeply into the London underworld--the corruption of policemen, the intimidation of witnesses, the bribing of jurors. The story is fast and exciting but is told with a ruthless detachment, and details the tragic consequences for the wives, girlfriends and children of the robbers. The final chapter reveals in a totally unexpected way how long prison sentences have failed to reform the most notorious criminals of our generation. The Train Robbers was a major bestseller in hardback with TV appearances by the Train Robbers and massive publicity including a three-part serialisation in The Observer Magazine. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
