Lo que no me ha gustado es que los personajes como John Shelby y Finn Shelby no tienen ni una foto ni un capítulo donde hablen de ellos. Good and informative book, but short enough that you can blow through this one if its something that interests you. Not to mention that the people whom the Shelbys were based on weren't introduced until over halfway through the novel, and that was albeit brief.

Protejată de umbre, i-am privit pe membrii bandei Peaky Blinders cum jefuiesc și omoară, cum înșală și mint, cum supraviețuiesc și se răzbună.After nearly a decade of political control, their growing influence brought on the attention of a larger gang, the Birmingham Boys.

In de jaren 20 van de vorige eeuw zit het Tommy Shelby mee: hij verrijkt zich op slinkse wijze, is populair in zijn buurt en vrouwen vallen voor hem als vliegen. The first half of the book is a draining procession of contemporary news cuttings about the crimes of the Birmingham "slogging" gangs at the turn of the 20th century; some of the references are insightful but after pages and pages of repetitive text it just becomes padding.Como fan de la serie, esto es un "must read" con entrevistas de los actores en sus personajes, detalles y datos de cada episodio importante en las temporadas hacen esta una increíble lectura y muy necesaria para seguirle hechando fuego a mi obsesión por la familia Shelby y los Peaky fookin Blinders. I really wanted to love this book, or at the very least enjoy it, but it was a real slog (no pun intended) to finish. For someone who only discovered this series at Season Five and then had to download the previous four seasons, this was brilliant. Drawing together a remarkably wide-range of original sources, including rarely seen images of real Peaky Blinders and interviews with relatives of the 1920s gangsters, Peaky Blinders: The Real Story adds a new dimension to the true history of Birmingham's underworld and fact behind its fiction. Nevertheless, it was interesting to read about the emergence of such violent gangs and the relationship that clearly existed between class, poor working and living conditions and police, and political repression of the working class and why groups like the slogger gangs started to appear.
