==Book Description==

It is undoubtedly a faithful picture of life among the lowest of the low - the corner boys, the so-called gangsters, the dwellers in the filthiest slums. It is an astounding story of life in the tenements, of razor fights, and gang battles, of dance hall riots, and public house raids, and all of the seething misery, revolt, and lawlessness of the slums.

This saga of a Glasgow gangster moves fast through scenes of the grimmest realism to a climax of inevitable doom. It includes an amazing study of a certain type of woman in the slums, a creature of fierce passions and strangely twisted loyalties.

Undoubtedly the most outspoken book of the century.
