For the first time, journalist Howie Carr reveals the “real” story behind the infamous Bulgers – two brothers 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 to resign from both positions. This fresh account of Massachusetts ’s infamous Bulger brothers unveils a stunning criminal alliance, and with its dual biography format reads like an unholy hybrid of All the King’s Men and The Godfather. Howie Carr, a National Magazine Award-winner and an Emmy nominee, is a columnist for the Boston Herald and owns the #1 afternoon talk-radio show, broadcast out of WRKO and syndicated to 20 markets in 12 states.
