A collection of over 20 fascinating true stories from well known bouncers and bodyguards worldwide.
Bouncers and Bodyguards is a revealing collection of outrageous true tales about life on the doors and in the personal protection game from some of Britain's most notorious figures. Read how Charlie Bronson helped his friends out on the doors of his local in the early '70s before being banged up for well over 30 years; how former East End gangster Dave Courtney misses the violent world of the doors; how a bizarre comment about a banana skin by Prince Charles confused Ken Wharfe, personal bodyguard to Charles and the late Princess Diana; how a covert security operation in Moscow went embarrassingly wrong; and how a top British security firm advertised for bouncers for a high-risk 'suicide' operation in central Baghdad. By turns funny, sad and shocking, many of these candid accounts were written exclusively for this publication by individuals who have spent much of their working lives in what is a volatile, violent and frequently unpredictable industry.Compiled by former bodyguard, ex-mercenary and well-known nightclub bouncer Robin Barratt, "Bouncers and Bodyguards" is an expose of an infamous twilight world about which rumours have often circulated. The truth has never really been uncovered - until now.
