Opis

Robert Douglas completes his autobiographical trilogy in this enchanting personal memoir, taking us through the 1960s and into the 1980s with his memories of life as a prison officer and, later, as an electricity chargehand driving around the Yorkshire Dales. His prison tales are laced with anecdotes about many of the most famous criminals in British historythe Krays, the Richardsons, the Great Train Robbers, Soviet spies, and many more. Along the way, Douglas evokes the strong sense of social change that gripped the country as Britain emerged from the post-war gloom into the bright lights of the Beatles years and beyond."
