Pressestimmen
"A profane, often brutal memoir . . . Nee maintained an uneasy alliance with Bulger while pursuing his personal cause - raising money and smuggling weapons for the Irish Republican Army. "— The Boston Herald"Nee commits some horrible crimes, from attempted murder to armed robbery. Yet even as he chases someone with a rifle through South Boston, he's the sort of guy you want to root for . . . Scenes in which Nee interacts with his parents or siblings are most touching. He's a good son, a bit of a smart-aleck and a fine drinking buddy as well as a gunrunner and would be assassin." — The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune
Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende
Patrick Nee was a major player in Boston’s infamous Irish mob. At fourteen he became associated with the gang that would later battle Whitey Bulger for rights to Southie’s criminal activities. When his younger brother was gunned down in the streets, Pat knew he was capable of killing for a cause, successfully hunting Peter’s killer and leaving him for dead. A Marine veteran of Vietnam, Pat helped the Irish Republican Army smuggle money, guns, and munitions out of the United States. He served nearly two years in prison for the seven tons of weapons he attempted to transport aboard the Valhalla, received early parole, then promptly attempted to rob an armored car in order to raise funds for the IRA. He served nine years for this conviction. Today he works as a day laborer and spends time with his two daughters and grandchildren.
Richard Farrell won the du Pont-Columbia Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism in 1996 for his film High on Crack Street. As an independent journalist he covered the war in Bosnia during the early 1990s. He has directed several award-winning films and written articles for the Boston Globe and numerous other publications. He lives in southern New Hampshire with Melissa Hardy and their two children, Siobhan and Aidan Farrell.
Michael Blythe, like his good friend Pat Nee, is a lifelong South Boston resident who served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He is a screenwriter and father of six.

"Not one account in this book is taken from a newspaper article, a police report, or somebody else's 'gangster' book. Everything detailed in this book I have either done, seen done, or heard about from the person who did it. Most reporters and authors who write Southie gangster books use CIs - confidential informers - as sources. However, seldom is the majority of information compiled by these sources correct information. Confidential informers are self-serving criminals who lie. This book is different from other books on the Boston Irish mob or any other 'Whitey/Southie' crime book. If my recollections don't match those in some other book by some other criminal, I don't care. My memory is not perfect. This is my life as I remember it. And I'm comfortable with that." - Author's Note, Patrick Nee

Interesting but biased!
Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 13. März 2012Verifizierter Kauf
I have read a lot of books on the irish american underworld and the troubles in northern ireland recently, and what i can see about this one is that whilst different as it does show an actual inside look at the issue it is from an EXTREMELY biased view point. That is the guy seems all too happy to support the IRA and highlight their cause whilst discussing the 'attrocities' that the british forces committed, yet he is forgetting that the IRA did the same if not worse. He also seems to reminice romantically about the Marine's and highlighting his involvement which does seem to get rather tiresome after a while. Leaving out the above it is a rather good book, it provides that inside knowledge/OPINION about the issue. But as i have said make sure you read it with a pinch of salt.

Rezension aus Kanada am 17. Januar 2017Verifizierter Kauf
cool book has some interesting claims on whitey Bulger who knows If any of them where true or not haters or gon hate this book dragged on a lot while I was reading it there was times where I almost gave up on the book then there would be a excitng twist and it would capture me again. The authors a bit of a bleeding heart not really a stone cold gangster like a lot of the italian wiseguys who are more interesting to read about.
