About this product

Product Information

Here is the shocking true saga of the Irish American mob. In Paddy Whacked , bestselling author and organized crime expert T. J. English brings to life nearly two centuries of Irish American gangsterism, which spawned such unforgettable characters as Mike "King Mike" McDonald, Chicago's subterranean godfather; Big Bill Dwyer, New York's most notorious rumrunner during Prohibition; Mickey Featherstone, troubled Vietnam vet turned Westies gang leader; and James "Whitey" Bulger, the ruthless and untouchable Southie legend. Stretching from the earliest New York and New Orleans street wars through decades of bootlegging scams, union strikes, gang wars, and FBI investigations, Paddy Whacked is a riveting tour de force that restores the Irish American gangster to his rightful preeminent place in our criminal history -- and penetrates to the heart of the American experience.

    the best

    I love this book. Very well put together. I read this book, then ordered the author's Westies book. It's very well written and not just a list of all the crimes, but fascinating stories. I really don't see much difference in how the author described the corrupt politicians of Tamany Hall and the politicians of today. It seems to be politics as usual.

    The mobster era explained well

    Very well written. Born in 1942 in Northern Wisconsin which was a hangout for the "Chicago Mob" I grew up seeing quite a few of these characters around. Ralph Capone lived in Merced for a while. He would visit my fathers tavern. Always a nice man to most people. Nickname was "Bottles".
