What happened to them and their gangland rivals?

By the spring of 2024, it will be four and a half years since the publication of Chinn's Sunday Times number 1 best-selling Peaky Blinders. The Real Story. Adopting a chronological approach, it covered the origins of Birmingham's backstreet gangs in the late 1860s through the late 20th century. This much-awaited fourth book in the bestselling series, Peaky Blinders: The Real Gangsters and Gangs differs by taking a thematic approach and delves far more deeply into the crimes as well as the political issues at the heart of this pre-war period.
