Publisher's Synopsis
One of the most notorious crimes of the last century. In August 1966, two weeks after England won the World Cup, and four miles from Wembley Stadium, Harry Roberts and his associates gunned down three unarmed police detectives in front of dozens of primary school children. The nation was outraged and struggled to understand what had just happened. The case of Harry Roberts, the crew of police car Foxtrot One-One, and the Shepherd's Bush Massacre has become the stuff of legend, with football supporters singing songs about it for half a century. It led directly to the establishment of the Metropolitan Police firearms wing and a new professional attitude to guns in the entire British police service.
