About this product
Product Information
Murder and robbery committed on the railways have long held a special place in British criminal history. Railways and trains create special conditions and opportunities for criminal acts. Two legendary large-scale robberies took place on the British railway The Great Bullion Robbery of 1855 and the Great Train Robbery of 1963 and these extraordinary episodes are often used as examples of the ultimate in criminal audacity. But as Jonathan Oates shows in this powerful selection of case studies, most railway crime is less sensational yet, in many ways, more revealing. He reconstructs in vivid detail some of the most memorable cases dating from Victorian times to the present day. Included are cases of adults and children who were thrown to their deaths from trains, decapitated corpses found beside railway lines, passengers who were pushed from platforms into the path of oncoming trains and others who were stabbed, shot or strangled during their journeys and were found dead on arrival. The sheer variety of crimes is astonishing, as are the stories that unravel behind them. As he retells these sensational, bizarre, often ghastly tales, Jonathan Oates gives and insight into the reality of railway crime. His collection is a must for addicts of true crime cases and for readers who enjoy railway history. AUTHOR: Dr Jonathan Oates is the Ealing Borough Archivist and Local History Librarian, and he has written and lectured on aspects of the history of London, including its criminal past. His books include several volumes on West London in the Images of London series as well as Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Ealing, Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deeds in Lewisham and Deptford, Unsolved Murders in Victorian and Edwardian London and Unsolved Murders: The 1920s and 1930s. He also published a study of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 and Sweet William or The Butcher? SELLING POINTS: .An anthology of notorious crimes from railway history .Cases ranging from the Victorian period to the present day .Every sort of railway crime from casual murder to calculated robbery ILLUSTRATIONS 30 illustrations *
