In London Gangs at War, Dick Kirby takes readers on a gripping journey into the heart of the city's criminal underworld, revealing the intricate web of gangs and their ruthless struggle for power.

Based on Kirby's years of experience as a crime reporter, the book offers an unprecedented look at the gangs that have shaped London's criminal landscape, from the notorious Yardies and Peckham Boys to the up-and-coming Drill Music Gangs.

Kirby provides a detailed account of the gangs' history, structure, and methods of operation. He explores the complex motivations that drive young people to join gangs, from poverty and social exclusion to the allure of power and respect.

The book also exposes the devastating impact of gang violence on London's communities, from the tragic loss of life to the fear and intimidation that pervades many neighborhoods.

Kirby argues that the police and government have failed to effectively address the problem of gang violence, and he calls for a new approach that focuses on prevention and intervention.
