The true story

Author Name: Carl Chen

They're all here: Billy Kemper, Darby Sabini, Alfie Solomons... Peaky Blinders: The True Story is an astonishing exploration of a dark underworld with individuals more vicious than anything you'll see on screen.

Thanks to the popular TV series, the Peaky Blinders have become synonymous with swagger, charm, and violence. With charisma that masks flaws, the Shelbys roam the dark alleys, leaving bloody mayhem in their wake.

But who are the real Peaky Blinders?

Leading historian Carl Chain, a descendant of a Peaky Blinder and son of a Birmingham bookie, has compiled previously unseen photographs and interviews with people with gang connections to reveal the truth behind the fiction.

In this exciting social history, we see firsthand the struggles of the working class in one of the largest cities of the British Empire before the First World War, and it documents the rise and fall of the most notorious gangster in British history.
