An excellent and
intriguing collection of true life stories of the crimes that went on
during World War II. Using photographs and well researched
information, from small petty crimes, to murder and many more, author
Penny Legg captures in detail the crime cases, the people involved
and how they were solved. We see the dark side of the war with crime
rate up by fifty-seven percent between 1939-1945, with blackouts and
air raids providing the spivs, scoundrels, rouges and worse, the
perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation, for them to
carry out their crimes. The book can be used for reference purposes
to dip in and out of, or if you are like me and find this a
fascinating subject, you will have read it cover to cover before you
know it! A great and knowledgeable source of information, that I
learnt so much from.
