Book excerpt: Mark Silverman grew up in the Boston underworld, under the tutelage of the Winter Hill Gang in Somerville, and the inner circle of the Boston faction of the Patriarca Mafia family. Rogue Mobster is a firsthand account of the violent Boston mob wars of the 1990s, when bodies were piling up across New England and Mark was walking a tightrope between Winter Hill and the Mafia. An amazing journey through the underworld of New England/Boston/Providence/Rhode Island/Massachusettes and the various crews of LCN & the Winter Hill Gang. Irish gangsters and Men of Respect operating in close proximity yet each respecting the other while everyone makes a dollar. This is not your, "run of the mill" tale or the same old story and names just re-arranged. "Rogue Mobster" tells the story of a young up and comer, with connections to the Irish Winter Hill Crew that can be compared to those that Henry Hill had in "Goodfellas". As a youth surrounded by top gangsters, both of Irish and Italian heritage, this half Sicilian, 1/4 Jewish and 1/4 Portugese, makes his way through the treacherous days of the New England Mafia wars; the young renegades who feel that the old regime's time has come and gone, and now want their turn running things as well as the diabolical two faced James "Whitey" Bulger and his Federal Bureau boys. Tumultous times to say the least, add into the mix the fact that the recognized leaders of LCN tap Mark to be their eyes and ears, due to his business proximity with the renegades and the fact that he himself is an up and comer, earning with both hands and enjoying himself along the way. As the saying goes, "keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer", this is a lesson that Mark always kept in mind, and it helped save him while out in the streets making a living. This is not your usual organized crime novel, it's material is refreshing and the facts/details he divulges are a change of pace from the average book. If you are a true crime fan, this is a must read, not much is published about the Winter Hill Gang so be ready for some new names and the 'usual' ones also.

Book Synopsis Boston Mafia by : Mark Silverman

Download or read book Boston Mafia written by Mark Silverman. This book was released on 2015-07-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An amazing compilation of first hand Whitey Bulger, Winter Hill Gang, and Italian mafia stories as told by Boston Organized Crime figure, Mark Silverman. Silverman recalls his own deadly encounter with notorious Irish Mob Boss, James "Whitey" Bulger along with actual FBI recordings of the most sacred Italian tradition; an actual induction ceremony. Silverman compares his inside views with those of other highly regarded mob writers. Boston Mafia Chronicles the history of the Winter Hill Gang and the New England mafia through the eyes and ears of Boston organized crime figure Mark Silverman along with supplemental material from some of the most well known and respected journalists who have covered the mafia for over thirty years. Silverman explains how shifting allegiances and internal power struggles have moved the power base from Providence to Boston and back again. In 1988 Frank Cadillac Salemme was released from prison and decided to rekindle his criminal partnership with his old pals Whitey Bulger and Stevie Flemmi which led to at least six mob related killings in 1991 and sparked an all out power play in the New England mafia. The next six years brought with it a slew of underworld slayings. Some were personal while others were directly related to Salemme's grab for power. By 1995 a grand jury handed down a sweeping indictment that included Salemme, Bulger and Flemmi. While Flemmi decided to stick around, Bulger and Salemme high tailed it out of Boston. Salemme headed to West Palm Beach, Florida and was apprehended seven months later and brought back to Boston to face charges ranging from extortion to murder. Bulger lasted over16 years on the lam. It was not long before Salemme found out that Bulger and Flemmi had been informing on him since the 70's. He was approached by Attorney General Janet Reno to make a deal and deliver payback to the FBI and the back stabbing mobsters. Reno wanted to bring down Boston FBI agent John Connolly who allowed Bulger and Flemmi to rule unabated for two decades. Many mafia story lines have an all-too similar ring to them. Not this book. Silverman threads the needle with this impressive back story surrounding the mysterious relationship between Whitey Bulger and the FBI. Millions were netted by Bulger's crew and FBI agents. But where did all the money go?

Book Synopsis Street Soldier by : Edward J. Mackenzie Jr.

Download or read book Street Soldier written by Edward J. Mackenzie Jr.. This book was released on 2010-04-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring all the trappings of a Scorsese film, this first-hand account from one of Whitey Bulger’s enforcers is “one of the best” insider accounts of life inside the mob (Washington Post) During the 1980s, Edward J. MacKenzie, Jr., “Eddie Mac,” was a drug dealer and enforcer who would do just about anything for Whitey Bulger, the notorious head of Boston’s Winter Hill Gang. In this compelling eyewitness account—the first from a Bulger insider—Eddie Mac delivers the goods on his one-time boss and on such former associates as Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi and turncoat FBI agent John Connolly. Eddie Mac provides a window onto a world rarely glimpsed by those on the outside. Street Soldier is also a story of the search for family, for acceptance, for respect, loyalty, and love. Abandoned by his parents at the age of four, MacKenzie became a ward of the state of Massachusetts, suffered physical and sexual abuse in the foster care system, and eventually drifted into a life of crime and Bulger’s orbit. The Eddie Mac who emerges in these pages is complex: An enforcer who was also a kick-boxing and Golden Gloves champion; a womanizer who fought for custody of his daughters; a tenth-grade dropout living on the streets who went on, as an adult, to earn a college degree in three years; a man, who lived by the strict code of loyalty to the mob, but set up a sting operation that would net one of the largest hauls of cocaine ever seized. Eddie's is a harsh story, but it tells us something important about the darker corners of our world. Street Soldier is as disturbing and fascinating as a crime scene, as heart-stopping as a bar fight, and at times as darkly comic as Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction or Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas.
