G-Men And Gangsters: Partners In Crime

by Dominic Spinale

G-Men and Gangsters is a chilling account of the illusive partnership between the FBI Boston Bureau and Irish gangsters in order to infiltrate and topple the Italian-American Mafia. The FBI’s intent to bring down the La Cosa Nostra in Boston resulted in the affiliation of law enforcement agents and the country’s most unscrupulous gangsters, Whitey Bulger and his posse. G-Men and Gangsters reveals the bureau’s perverse abuse of power and its willingness to use unlawful tactics to gain its objectives. The scandal shook both organizations and resulted in the convictions of top FBI officials and mobsters. The book is full of shocking revelations and raises questions about the government’s possible reluctance to apprehend Bulger, America’s most wanted fugitive criminal.

I would have enjoyed this more if i hadn’t watch The Sopranos first. Tho, this highly emphasized some of FBI’s agents corruption and abuse of power, Gangsters and Mobs stories are all but the same, bloody and lots of money.

Good book, a lot of dry facts, but still interesting the crouption the FBI went to, makes you wonder what else they are capable of.

Pretty good if you're into this sort of thing. I hate to admit I have my doubts about its truthfulness, but I relished learning about this part of history. $3.00 find.
