Congratulations to Howie Carr, his new book on the Bulger Brothers has cracked the top ten on NY Times list.
If you’re not from Massachusetts, you may be wondering who they are. You simply won’t believe that this could actually happen. It sounds too Hollywood to be true.
This fresh account of Massachusetts+sinfamous Bulger brothers unveils a stunning criminal alliance, and with its dual biography format, goes deeper than the New York Times bestselling Black Mass.For the first time, journalist Howie Carr reveals the -real+ story behind the infamous Bulgers-twobrothers from South Boston who grew up to control a state. With political corruption on one side and deadly force on the other, the Bulgers shared a diabolic and destructive alliance for decades. James Whitey Bulger, the bad son, blazed a murderous trail to become Boston’s most feared mobster and remains one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. William Billy Bulger, the good son, wielded the gavel as president of the Massachusetts State Senate and the University of Massachusetts, but was eventually forced from bothpositions. The parallel stories of these two brothers, rich in anecdote and shocking in their revelations, read like an unholy hybrid of All the King+s Men and The Godfather.
