British organised crime has changed beyond all recognition over the last five years. Youth violence, the drug trade and rising levels of gun crime are rarely out of the news. Beginning on the troubled streets of the inner cities, Gang Land takes its readers on a journey up through the underworld hierarchy until it finally reaches the very highest levels, occupied by shadowy ‘Mr Big’ characters.

I first read this book years ago and really enjoyed it. Tony is a great writer and has gone even closer to the subject matter to get an even better insight. Covers multiple levels of OC and delves into stories to paint a detailed picture. Only issue I would say is it would have been better if Tony had narrated it himself but the narrative is still very listenable

Great overview with detailed stories

I struggled to finish it because it was just a long list of crime story anecdotes that got monotonous

Where does Gang Land rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Thompson gives a good insight into the various criminal organisations operating within the UK, some background into their history, and testimonial accounts of how each operates with the other. There are many interesting parts to the book in which he describes getting high on crack cocaine and heroin, recounts almost getting beaten up by bouncers whilst pursuing an interview, and mock selling drugs in Camden.

a good insight
