For more than 50 years, Freddie Foreman's name has commanded respect, and occasionally fear, from those who work to uphold the law—and those who operate just outside of it. With almost all of his compatriots—like the notorious Kray twins—now gone, Freddie is truly The Last Real Gangster. A true entrepreneur and businessman, Freddie was one of the great personalities of the criminal underworld. A man of principle, protective of his family and unfailingly loyal to his friends, Freddie was someone who could be relied upon with complete confidence in all circumstances. Together with co-authors Frank and Noelle Kurylo—who have themselves been intimately involved in the underworld for a number of decades—as well as dozens of previously unpublished photographs, The Last Real Gangster contains the musings and reminiscences of someone who truly was there and really did see it all. Including a detailed look at the life of the Kray twins, alongside dozens of other recognizable "Faces," this book is the no-holds-barred story of Freddie's life and the exciting and glamorous world in which they lived.
