The Peaky Blinders as we know them, thanks to the hit TV series, are infused with drama and dread. Fashionably dressed, the charismatic but deeply flawed Shelby family blind enemies by slashing them with the disposable safety razor blades stitched into the peaks of their flat caps, as they fight bloody gangland wars involving Irish terrorists and the authorities led by a devious Home Secretary, Winston Churchill. But who were the real Peaky Blinders? Did they really exist? Well-known social historian, broadcaster and author, Carl Chinn, has spent decades searching them out. Now he reveals the true story of the notorious Peaky Blinders, one of whom was his own great grandfather and, like the Shelby's, his grandfather was an illegal bookmaker in back-street Birmingham.

Autorenporträt
Carl Chinn es doctorado en Historia social, miembro de la Orden del Imperio británico, escritor, orador y profesor. Además es hijo y nieto de unos corredores de apuestas de Sparkbrook (profesión que él mismo desempeñó hasta 1984) y, por parte de madre, desciende de trabajadores de fábrica procedentes del barrio de Aston. Sus escritos están profundamente influenciados por la condición de clase trabajadora de sus familiares y la vida que llevaban en los barrios pobres de casas adosadas de Birmingham, y le han reportado una impresionante fama a nivel nacional. Chinn cree sinceramente que la historia debería democratizarse porque todas y cada una de las personas han dejado su marca en ella y tienen algo que contar. Peaky Blinders: la verdadera historia es su trigésimo tercer libro.
