Inside the Kray Family: The Twins' Cousins Tell Their Story for the First Time

by Joe Lee, Peter Gerrard, Rita Smith

Rita Smith and Joe Lee grew up alongside their infamous cousins, the Krays. Private and loyal to their family, they have never before spoken out in public. But now, for the first time they share their thoughts and memories with Peter Gerrard, and the result is an intriguingly intimate portrait of the Kray family. Rita and Joe not only offer a wealth of previously unpublished stories and anecdotes about the twins, describe the personal relationships both within and outside the family, and offer a fascinating insight into what went on behind closed doors, they also provide a family photograph album of never-before published photographs. Joe and Rita believe that the record should finally be set straight. Inside the Kray Family does just that, providing an extraordinary insight into one of Britan's most infamous families.

Definitely worth a read if the Kray's are of interest to you. Some unseen photographs are included in the book. The only downside for me was with both Joe Lee and Rita Smith telling their memories they often repeated each other.
