The Brothers Bulger by Howie Carr
The riveting New York Times bestseller by award-winning columnist Howie Carr--now with a stunning new afterword detailing Whitey Bulger's capture.For years their familiar story was of two siblings who took different paths out of South Boston: William "Billy" Bulger, former president of the Massachusetts State Senate; and his brother James "Whitey" Bulger, a vicious criminal who became the FBI's second most-wanted man after Osama Bin Laden. While Billy cavorted with the state's blue bloods to become a powerful political force, Whitey blazed a murderous trail to the top rung of organized crime. Now, in this compelling narrative, Carr uncovers a sinister world of FBI turncoats, alliances between various branches of organized crime, St. Patrick's Day shenanigans, political infighting, and the complex relationship between two brothers who were at one time kings.
As the film Black Mass, starring Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger, hits theaters, take a deeper dive into the story of the Bulgers, and their fifty-year reign over Boston with Howie Carr's The Brother's Bulger.
Howie Carr is a renowned radio talk show host that is syndicated throughout New England. He is a native of Portland, Maine. He has raised a lot of eyebrows and voices over the years with his caustic exposes of local leaders. He's known for pushing the boundaries and never admitting when he's gone too far. He has also been on NBC, MSNBC, C-SPAN, Court TV, CNN, and the Fox News Network on a regular basis. Carr worked as the Boston Herald American's City Hall bureau head and then as the paper's State House bureau chief.
Carr's coverage of then-Mayor Kevin White for WNEV, Channel 7, was so unrelenting that when White declared he wouldn't run again, he told the Boston Sunday Globe that one of the things he liked best about his upcoming retirement was not having Carr hound him around the city. He won the National Magazine Award for Essays and Criticism in 1985, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. He has been nominated for an Emmy Award in television.
