Here is the shocking true saga of the Irish American mob.

In Paddy Whacked, best-selling author and organized crime expert T. J. English brings to life nearly two centuries of Irish American gangsterism, which spawned such unforgettable characters as Mike "King Mike" McDonald, Chicago's subterranean godfather; Big Bill Dwyer, New York's most notorious rumrunner during Prohibition; Mickey Featherstone, troubled Vietnam vet turned Westies gang leader; and James "Whitey" Bulger, the ruthless and seemingly untouchable Southie legend. Stretching from the earliest New York and New Orleans street wars through decades of bootlegging scams, union strikes, gang wars, and FBI investigations, Paddy Whacked is a riveting tour de force that restores the Irish American gangster to his rightful preeminent place in our criminal history and penetrates to the heart of the American experience.

I can’t say anything bad about this book. The way the author kept my attention was phenomenal. A lot of non-fiction books that I listen to slog on—not this one! I was hooked start to finish.

The narrator is so dang good. True story: I was listening to this audiobook at the dentist’s office (I have a phobia of needles/injections) and my dentist allowed me to play this audiobook to distract me from what he was doing and there were times the narrator cracked us up with some of the deliveries of the book’s many witty one-liner commentaries. And after just an hour of listening to this book (and I was in the middle of it!), my dentist went “well sh*t, that was so interesting I’m gonna go home, buy it and download it tonight.” Best time I’ve ever had at the dentist. EVER.

I sometimes forgot I was listening to a non-fiction history book about Irish gangsters. It was a blast. I also really appreciated how it touched on Irish history and how connected it was to the Irish American experience. If you want to learn about the Irish mob and the colorful characters that made it what it was, run, don’t walk!

Amazing Narrator, Fantastic and Thrilling History

Lots of detai on lots of gangsters

Amazing read. The book shed light on much of the craziness of my childhood in NYC. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about the influence the Irish have had and have on the American culture.

Mind blowing

Fascinating narrative on the broad range of Irish American characters connecting them to the old country and the evolving new country, the USA. The linkage between politics and criminals and the ethnic irish from a long historic and socioeconomic perspective is something i never came across before. Incredibly compelling story.

Amazing story

This was overall a great book full of fascinating facts on US underworld history. The only reason I did not give it full stars was it took a bit to get going and a tad long. But again, history is not always exciting, still a must have book.
