From the best-selling creators of Black color Mass comes the definitive biography of Whitey Bulger, the most brutal and sadistic offense boss since Al Capone. Attracting on a trove of sealed files and recently classified materials, Whitey digs deep into the mind of Wayne J. "Whitey" Bulger, the offense boss and killer who helped bring the FBI to its knees. He's an American original - a psychopath who fostered a following with a scary mixture of terror, fatal intimidation, and the deft touch of an politician who often helped a family in need meet their regular rent. But the history shows that despite the early on false misconceptions portraying him as a Robin Hood body, Whitey was a supreme narcissist, and everything - every connection with family and his politician sibling Invoice Bulger, with underworld cohorts, with law enforcement, along with his South Boston neighbours, and along with his victims - was always about him. Within an Irish-American community where loyalty is definitely rule one, the Bulger brand was loyalty to oneself. Whitey deconstructs Bulger's insatiable hunger for vitality and control. Building on their years of reporting and uncovering new Bulger family records, letters, and jail documents, Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill examine and reveal the factors and forces that created the monster. It's a deeply rendered portrait of bad that spans almost a century, taking Whitey from the streets of his boyhood Southie in the 1940s, to his cell in Alcatraz in the 1950s, to his cunning and corrupt pact with the FBI in the 1970s, and lastly to Santa Monica, California where for 15 years he was hiding in plain view as one of the FBI's 10 Most Required. In an eternity of offense and murder that finished along with his arrest in June 2011, Whitey Bulger became one of the very most powerful and fatal offense bosses of the 20th hundred years. That is his story.
