Book description
A Man Apart discovers who the real Reg Kray was, deconstructing the man
lost beneath the layers of attitude and opinion, exaggeration and
distortion, destined to spend so much of his life behind bars. As Reg's
confident, Roberta was closer to him than anyone, enabling her to write
frankly about the Reg she knew, how he became such a vilified figure and
what he really thought about his past and his strange fame. Drawing on
official documents, Reg's correspondence and their own conversations
over the years, Roberta reveals a previously unkown side of Reg's
personality, his conflict with Ron and his first tragic marriage. She
also details the development of her own love affair, from their first
meeting in 1996 to Reg's death in October 2000. This is the first and
only inside story of the real Reg Kray. Balanced, insightful, and most
of all honest, it brings to light the real man behind the myth.
