Well-known social historian, broadcaster and author, Carl Chinn, has spent decades searching the Peaky Blinders out. Here, he reveals the true story of the notorious gang members, one of whom was his own great grandfather, an illegal bookmaker in back-street Birmingham. In this social history, Chinn shines a light on the rarely reported struggles of the working class in one of the great cities of the British Empire before the First World War.
