The Brothers Bulger: How They Terrorized and Corrupted Boston for a Quarter Century by Howie Carr

4.0

An easy read about the gangsters of Boston in the 80's and 90's. Many know about the story of "Whitey" Bulger but many do not know the intricate details of his life and his leadership in gangs. His brother seems to be the opposite as he was the president of a university and Senate for some time but that was not the case. Howie Carr writes in a matter of fact manner with very little opinions. He tells it like it is and I think his readers are thankful. Many times I looked for more information. I know I will have to watch Black Mass again as it is a similar story written by a competing journalist.
