Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld Wars by John Silvester, & Andrew Rule
When the shooting starts in the underworld, war is a short word that covers a lot of ground. It can be a blood feud between criminal families, as savage and irrational as any vendetta. It can be revenge, exacted by enemies with long memories, old grudges and new information. Then, of course, there are the police, who belong to the biggest gang of all. The latest gangland war could prove the bloodiest but it isn't the first.
In Leadbelly, crime writers Silvester and Rule trace the brutal rise and sudden fall of two generations of Australian gunmen, on both sides of the law.
