About this listen

For more than 20 years, the most intense and prolonged gang war in British history raged on the streets of Manchester. Warring factions left at least 40 dead and made headlines across the world. This best-selling account tells how vicious battles for control of drugs, turf, and protection rackets blighted the reputation of one of Europe's most dynamic cities and saw the coining of the sinister epithet "Gunchester".

By acclaimed investigative author Peter Walsh, Gang War is a powerful and disturbing account of an extraordinary crime phenomenon.

I have read this book and thought the audio version would be worth a listen. It isn’t. In fact it ruins an excellent book. Why does Graham Mack the narrator think every verbal exchange has to be in a faux high pitched Manchester accent? Every comment sounds as outraged and surprised as if members of the GMP had burst into your bathroom whilst you were on the toilet. Became too irritating after the first 8 chapters.

Awful narration. Whiny and startled.

I never knew how badly entrenched Manchester was in gang culture until I listened to this. Fascinating journey through the decades, trying to decipher and answer the one truly unanswerable question..? What is it that makes gang life so appealing..?
Highly recommended. (The book, not gang life…)

What a great listen..!
