About the Book

For almost twenty years, a bloody gang war has raged on the streets of one of Britain's major cities. Wild young men with automatic weaponry have left an unprecedented trail of death and injury, turning Manchester into the nation's crime capital. As the body count grew, so the city became known by a sinister new epithet: Gunchester. Now investigative author Peter Walsh reveals the inside story of the North-west crime mobs and their internecine feuding. With unprecedented access to gang members and law enforcement officers, he tells how the Cheetham Hill, Gooch and Doddington crews fought for control of the Moss Side drug trade, how the feared Salford Mob took over nightclub security, and how gang bosses like the hulking Chris Little cowed their local populace by burning down public buildings as a show of force. Gang War tells how a new, US-style gang culture evolved in Manchester, unlike anything seen before in the UK, leaving more than three dozen people dead. And it exposes for the first time the fresh breed of gangbangers - the Young Firm from Salford, the machine gun-toting Longsight Young Soldiers, and the dreaded Pitt Bull Crew - who continue to terrorise the streets.
