Maggiori informazioni sul libro
"My story is brutal and violent, because that's how it was. For much of my life I have lived in a world where ruthlessness, viciousness and savagery are prized and admired. But the sane among us also lived by a certain unwritten code of honour, the main rules of which were: never grass, never cooperate with the authorities, and never let your friends down. Though the rules of straight society were there for smashing, we adhered to our own creed. I have been a criminal all of my life and I am neither proud, nor particularly ashamed of the things I have done. I did what I felt I had to do because I didn't know any better, and I can't change any of it. In mitigation I offer only this - I never slashed a face that wasn't looking at me and I never robbed a bank that wasn't insured." "A Few Kind Words and a Loaded Gun is the autobiography of convicted felon Noel 'Razor' Smith. An extraordinarily vivid account of how a tearaway kid from South London became a career criminal, it is both a blistering indictment of a system that determinedly brutalized young offenders and a frank, unsentimental acknowledgement of the thrills of the criminal life."--BOOK JACKET
