About the Book

This book recounts the real story behind Peaky Blinders and Thomas Shelby, detailing the rise of their gang in Birmingham, England, during the aftermath of World War I. It explores how the group’s formation stemmed from the harsh economic conditions and crises of the time, emerging from the heart of the working class. The Peaky Blinders gained power through theft, violence, illegal betting, and gambling. Their signature look—single-breasted suits and peaked caps—earned them their infamous name. The dominance of the Blinders began when they defeated their rivals, the “Slaggers,” and took full control of the city of Birmingham, only to be challenged 20 years later by a larger gang led by Billy Kimber, who posed a serious threat.

About the Peaky Blinders Book

Written by Carl Chinn in 2015, this book aimed to address the public's curiosity following the viral success of the TV series. It delves into whether the events depicted in the show were based in reality. Using a historical, non-fiction approach, the book outlines the founding of the Peaky Blinders gang, their rise to power, and eventual downfall. Chinn argues that, despite some embellishments, the series closely mirrors real-life events. The book highlights the brutal and violent nature of the gang, shedding light on the darker side of their history. While it provides general trends and historical context for the group, it doesn’t delve deeply into the individual characters' lives or provide biographical details. A unique aspect of the book is how it immerses readers in the gangster culture of the time and paints a vivid picture of the lifestyle in Birmingham and among the British working class.
