Summary of Howie Carr's The Brothers Bulger

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Bulger family was not particularly Irish, as they were poor immigrants who worked for the government. Their father, James, was a third-generation laborer who was injured in a railyard accident, and his arm was amputated. They then moved to Dorchester and later to South Boston, where they heard about a new public housing project called Old Colony Harbor.

#2 James Michael Curley was the most vexatious Irishman of all, according to Bostonians. He was the quintessential Irish politician, and he went to jail briefly for taking a civil service examination for a constituent.

#3 The Bulgers were a family of small-timers, and that was what they were, even in their heyday. They were not a family of entrepreneurs, and they were not interested in rising above their station.

#4 Whitey was more his father’s son than Billy. Whitey was rarely at home, even as a boy, and would often keep to himself. The projects were not what they have since become. There were no drugs or unwed mothers, and next to no welfare.
