Gang War by Peter Walsh tells the inside story of Manchester's criminal gangs: how they started, the impact they've had on places like Moss Side, Cheetham Hill, Longsight and Salford, and how the authorities have dealt with them. A gripping introduction leads you into a compelling true story that sheds light on a sinister world exemplified by the scary cover photo artwork of a hooded youth pointing a gun. Well-researched, as readable as a crime thriller, with insights into the minds of both criminals and police. Some interesting remarks on how criminality is encouraged by misconceived city planning, e.g. the Hulme Crescents, estates designed with dead end streets. My panorama of Manchester from the Maths Tower is on the back cover. About the photos This image is from the portfolio of Aidan O'Rourke photographer writer website publisher.
