Peaky Blinders: The Real Story: The new true history of Birmingham’s most notorious gangs Audiobook (Free)

The Peaky Blinders as we realize them, because of the hit TV series, are infused with drama and dread. Fashionably outfitted, the charismatic but deeply flawed Shelby family members blind opponents by slashing them with the disposable safety razor blades stitched into the peaks of their smooth caps, because they battle bloody gangland wars concerning Irish terrorists and the regulators led with a devious House Secretary, Winston Churchill.

But who have been the true Peaky Blinders? Did they really can be found?

Well-known interpersonal about Peaky Blinders: The Real Story: The brand new accurate background of Birmingham’s most notorious gangs historian, broadcaster and author, Carl Chinn, provides spent decades looking them out. Today he reveals the true story from the notorious Peaky Blinders, one of whom was his very own great grandfather and, just like the Shelbys, his grandfather was an illegal bookmaker in back-street Birmingham.

With this gripping social history, Chinn shines a light for the hardly ever reported struggles of the functioning class in one of the great metropolitan areas of the British Empire prior to the First World War. The story continues after 1918 as some Peaky Blinders changed into the infamous Birmingham Gang. Led by the real Billy Kimber, they fought a bloody war using the London gangsters Darby Sabini and Alfie Solomon over valuable safety rackets extorting money from bookmakers across the flourishing postwar racecourses of Britain.

Drawing together a remarkably wide-range of original places, including interviews with relatives from the 1920s gangsters, Peaky Blinders: The Real Story adds a new dimension to the real background of Birmingham’s underworld and fact behind its fiction.
