Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Hardback, Book Club Edn. Ronald Biggs was a legend in his own lifetime. A member of the gang who carried out the Great Train Robbery, on Thursday August 8, 1963 in Buckinghamshire. He came to personal notoriety, excitement and drama of what was the biggest and most daring crime in British history. No one ran more rings round Scotland Yard, nor eluded more bounty hunters. Having made a successful getaway from the scene of the crime, Biggs - along with most of the other gang members - was subsequently captured; he received a 30yr jail sentence. But within 15-months he had made a spectacular escape from Wandsworth Prison. In this book, Biggs speaks openly about the robbery and his years on the run, and for the first time divulges just how he had eluded justice for so long. He talks about his life in Brazil, where he remained a hero of popular mythology, courted by the music and film industries, the media and the whole nation. His account is both revealing and highly entertaining. Illus. + Appendices. 279pp. 8vo. h/back. Includes a loosely inserted 12" x 8" colour photograph of Ronnie Biggs, wearing a Brazilian football shirt, and holding a copy of 'Odd Man Out'. This photograph is from 'The Great Train Robbery & Ronnie Biggs' auction held on June 16, 2015 by J P Humbert Auctioneers Ltd' and is SIGNED BY RONNIE BIGGS.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. SIGNED BY TOMMY WISBEY AND NICK RUSSELL-PAVIER, In the early hours of Thursday, 8 August 1963 at Sears Crossing near Cheddington in Buckinghamshire, £2.6 million (£45 million today) in unmarked £5, £1 and 10 shilling notes was stolen from the Glasgow to London mail train in a violent and daring raid which took forty-six minutes. Quickly dubbed 'the Crime of the Century', it has captured the imagination of the public and the world's media for over fifty years, taking its place in British folklore. Ronnie Biggs, Bruce Reynolds and Buster Edwards became household names and their accounts have fed the myths and legends of 'The Great Train Robbery'. But what really happened? This definitive account dismantles the myths and strips away the sensational headlines to reveal a flawed, darker and more complex story. The crime, the police investigation, the trial, two escapes from high-security prisons, and an establishment under siege are all laid bare in astonishing detail for an epic tale of crime and punishment. Fifty years later (at time of publication), here is the story set out in full for the first time - a true-life crime thriller, and also a vivid slice of British social history. An incredibly detailed look at the Great Train Robbery of 1963. Illus. + Maps, Appendices and Index. 441pp. lge. 8vo h/back. FLAT SIGNED BY NICK RUSSELL-PAVIER AND TOMMY WISBEY.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First edition. Hardback. SIGNED BY ANDREW COOK AND TOMMY WISBEY. The Great Train Robbery of 1963 is one of the most infamous crimes in British history. The bulk of the money stolen (equivalent to over £40 million today) has never been recovered, and there has not been a single year since 1963 when one aspect of the crime or its participants has not been featured in the media. Despite the wealth and extent of this coverage, a host of questions have remained unanswered: Who was behind the robbery? Was it an inside job? And who got away with the crime of the century? Fifty years of selective falsehood and fantasy has obscured the reality of the story behind the robbery. The fact that a considerable number of the original investigation and prosecution files on those involved and alleged to have been involved were closed, in many cases until 2045, has only served to muddy the waters still further. Now, through Freedom of Information requests and the exclusive opening of many of these files, the author reveals a new picture of the crime and its investigation that, at last, provides answers to many of these questions.
