Publisher's Summary:

Villains, gangsters or "Faces" as they prefer to be called, are the men, gang and family members who have made headlines over the past 50 years for all the wrong reasons. Some are household names: the Krays, the Richardsons, Paul Ferris, Frankie Fraser, Arthur Thompson and Vic Dark. Many you will not recognise, but the mere mention of these people has struck fear into individuals and entire communities. Despite their notoriety, the faces of Britain's most feared criminals remain largely unknown. That is until now. British Gangsters: Faces of the Underworld gives a unique insider's insight into these men. Presented by Bernard O'Mahoney, best-selling true crime author and former member of the Essex Boys Firm, Britain's most infamous and influential 'faces' are interviewed for the first time, many of whom have never appeared on record before.

Title: The Krays: Kill Order

Author: Bernard O'mahoney

Narrator: Bernard O'mahoney

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 29 minutes

Release date: December 14, 2018

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

"Ronnie and Reggie Kray remain two of the most infamous criminals in British history. Legends to many, their fame was built on a fearsome reputation and almost mythical celebrity-like status, but who were the real Kray twins? Born and brought up in the East End of London, the Krays became involved in petty crime at an early age and their dark and violent temperaments soon became apparent when Ron and Reg became embroiled in all aspects of crime including armed robbery, protection rackets and assault. The public, however, saw them as charming nightclub owners. Their Robin Hood-like reputations were a stark contrast to their real lives. On the surface, they were mixing with celebrities and Lords, being photographed by David Bailey and enjoying the thrills of the swinging sixties but behind closed doors they were leading sordid personal lives and orchestrating heinous crimes such as the 'disappearance' of Frank Mitchell and the brutal murders of Jack 'The Hat' McVitie and George Cornell. Public opinion was split but how were the twins viewed by their contemporaries? This is the inside story of the Krays, told by the people who stood by their side for all those years. Featuring: Freddie Foreman, Frankie Fraser, Eddie Richardson, Albert Donoghue, Lenny Hamilton, Billy Frost, Jimmy Tippett Snr, Albert Chapman, Toby Von Judge, Maureen Flanagan, Bernard O'Mahoney. Plus exclusive audio recordings of Reggie Kray. "

Title: [German] - Ein Leben ist zu wenig - Die Autobiographie (Gekürzt)

Author: Gregor Gysi

Narrator: Gregor Gysi

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 1 minute

Release date: November 17, 2017

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1

Genres: Law & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

So offen und persönlich wie noch nie: die Autobiographie Gregor Gysi hat linkes Denken geprägt und wurde zu einem seiner wichtigsten Protagonisten. Hier erzählt er von seinen zahlreichen Leben: als Anwalt, Politiker, Autor, Moderator und Familienvater. Seine Autobiographie ist ein Geschichts-Buch, das die Erschütterungen und Extreme, die Entwürfe und Enttäuschungen des 20. Jahrhunderts auf sehr persönliche Weise erlebbar macht. Kaum ein deutscher Politiker wurde so geschmäht, kaum einer schlug sich so erfolgreich durchs Gestrüpp der Anfeindungen - hin zu einer anerkannten Prominenz: In seiner Autobiographie erzählt Gregor Gysi von seiner Kindheit und Jugend, schildert seinen Weg zum Rechtsanwalt, gibt Einblicke in sein Verhältnis zu Dissidenten ('Bahro war mein spannendster Fall.') und in die Spannungsfelder an der Spitze von Partei und Bundestagsfraktion. Vor allem aber berichtet er von der erstaunlichen Wendung, die sein Leben mit dem Herbst 1989 nahm: Der Jurist wird Politiker. 'Einfach wegrennen, das wollte ich nie', sagt Gysi und trifft damit einen Kern seines Wesens: Widersprüche aushalten. Ein Leben und eine Familiengeschichte, die von Russland bis Rhodesien führt, in einen Gerichtsalltag mit Mördern und Dieben, und zu der ein Lob Lenins und die Nobelpreisträgerin Doris Lessing gehören. 'Mit Namen will ich nicht langweilen, und merken kann man sich das eh alles nicht. Erstaunlich, was sich im Laufe so vieler Jahre alles ereignet, wer auf wen treffen und welche Zufälle einander kreuzen müssen, damit irgendwann das eigene Leben entstehen und hervortreten kann.' aus: Ein Leben ist zu wenig

With recollections from childhood to the present, written and recorded for BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, Shirley Williams describes her life as one of Britain's foremost political women this century. She describes her early life with her pioneering pacifist mother, Vera Brittain; her father, George Caitlin and her mother's friend, the writer Winifred Holtby. From experiences as an evacuee in the United States and as an undergraduate in a fervent post-war Oxford full of exciting and ambitious contemporaries, she talks about the idealism that led her to decide, as a young woman of twenty, to devote her life to politics. From fighting elections to climbing the ministerial ladder as a woman, she recalls the Sixties when she rose to become one of the most prominent members of Harold Wilson's government, the Seventies when she served in the Cabinet and the turbulent Eighties when she was one of the Gang of Four, the founders of the SDP.

2017 is the 21st anniversary of Howard Marks' classic bestselling autobiography. He was Britain's most wanted man. He spent seven years in America's toughest penitentiary. You'll like him.

At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to thirty tons of marijuana, and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia. Following a worldwide operation by the Drug Enforcement Agency, he was arrested and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison at the Terre Haute Penitentiary, Indiana. He was released in April 1995 after serving seven years of his sentence. Told with humour, charm and candour, Mr Nice is his own extraordinary story.
