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

4.0

I had read some of Howie Carr's columns on the mob in Boston, and was slightly less than blown away -- so when I read this book, I WAS blown away. It's great. This is top-notch mob journalism, covering the corruption of Billy Bulger's career as president of the Massachusetts Senate, as well as his brother Jim "Whitey" Bulger's career as the principal hood in South Boston. Stands with some of the best accounts of political corruption and organized crime. A great read and immensely informative.
