Description - The Train Robbers by Piers Paul Read
The great train robbers tell their story
On Thursday August 8, 1963, fifteen masked men stopped the night train from Glasgow to London and robbed it of e2,500,000 (the equivalent of e41 million today). It was called the crime of the century, and the thieves were relentlessly pursued by Scotland Yard until half the gang were behind bars serving huge prison terms. But the story did not end there. First one, then another escaped in thrilling style and fled abroad, catching the world's imagination and making the Train Robbers into folk heroes.
Thirteen years later, the gang combined to tell their story, and Piers Paul Read, author of the bestselling Alive, agreed to write it. This is the classic, complete and exclusive story of the twentieth-century's most audacious crime and its even more sensational aftermath.
