I took the barrel out of his mouth and smashed him in the face with the butt. His lip split, but he wasn't a dead man. He seemed to appreciate that his life had been spared. He spluttered his thanks: "Ok, you're not a gangster. You are not a gangster.""This is the gripping true story of how one man ruled his north London manor with an iron fist--and a sawn-off shotgun called Kennedy. It's a shocking insight into a society where the rules are made by gangland leaders, and if anybody dare break them, they have to deal with the consequences. Bobby was sent to prison for the first time in 1967, aged 16, and over the next decade he established himself as a hardened criminal running protection rackets and robberies against a backdrop of all-out gang warfare, where doorstep slayings and bloody shoot-outs were common. Eventually Bobby was sentenced to 12 years in Britain's most notorious prisons, along with the Krays, Charlie Richardson, and the Yorkshire Ripper. Inside, he was introduced to the Open University, and on his release he soon got down to business again. Only this time his efforts saw him go from custody of Her Majesty's Prison Service to meeting with the Queen herself. . .

Bobby Cummines is not a gangster. If you ask, he'll tell you he was simply a businessman and it just so happened his business was that of a hitman, armed robber and fixer. This is the gripping true story of how one man ruled his north London manor with an iron fist -- or more to the point a sawn-off shotgun called Kennedy. Bobby was sent to prison for the first time in 1967, aged 16, and over the next decade he established himself as a ruthless hardened criminal through a succession of lucrative protection rackets and robberies.

There is blood everywhere, people dying, shotguns firing, doorstep slayings and all-out gang warfare between Turkish, Greek and Irish firms and Chinese triads. The Krays, The Richardsons, The IRA and The Yorkshire Ripper all make appearances too. During a twelve-year stint in Maidstone, Bobby was introduced to the Open University. Education was his liberation and on his release, Bobby got back to business. Only this time his efforts saw him go from custody of Her Majesty's Prison Service to coming face-to-face with the Queen herself. I Am Not A Gangster is a blisteringly honest account of the inner workings of the most infamous crime syndicates known and life inside Britain's most notorious jails, but above all it's a remarkable tale of redemption with the biggest turnaround in gangland history.
