Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Eddie Chapman was a criminal, but he was also a dedicated professional criminal. He was a prince of the underworld, in his own estimation. He was married, and another woman was pregnant with his child. #2 Chapman had a difficult childhood, with little money and not much love. He soon developed a talent for misbehaviour, and a distaste of authority. He joined the army, but was arrested for going absent without leave and sent to prison. #3 Soho in the 1930s was a den of notorious vice, and spectacular fun. It was a crossroads of London society where the rich and feckless met the criminal and reckless. Chapman found work as a barman, then as a film extra, earning £3 for three days doing crowd work. #4 The Jelly Gang was formed in the early 1930s, and they began targeting high-class furriers and pawnbrokers. They stole £15,000 from the safes they broke into. Chapman began spending money as fast as he could steal it, and he became friendly with many famous people.
