'I first met Robert Allerton in prison, where he was captive and I
was not... He was a powerful broad-shouldered Cockney [who] had
spent his childhood in poverty and much of his manhood in prison;
and he had a long record of violent crime.' Tony Parker, from his
Introduction Tony Parker's first book The Courage of His
Convictions (1962), constructed out of his candid and illuminating
dialogues with career criminal Robert Allerton (credited as
co-author), is a stunning work that displays all the skills and
virtues Parker would bring to his subsequent career as an 'oral
historian' of the lives of society's marginal figures. 'This
intimate autobiography is a revelation - it provides the first
psychological insight into the mentality of that frightening,
mysterious and pathetic product of our society, the professional
criminal.' Arthur Koestler
