Boston Mob: The Rise and Fall of the New England Mob and Its Most Notorious Killer
Join independent scholar and Boston author Marc Songini for a book talk on his book, Boston Mob The Rise and Fall of the New England Mob and Its Most Notorious Killer.
Songini provides background about any organized crime in southern Vermont--and ties it in with an overall history of the Mafia in New England and the Boston gang wars of the 60s. From information based on newly declassified documents and the use of underworld sources, Boston Mob spans the gutters and alleyways of East Boston, Providence and Charlestown to the halls of Congress in Washington D.C. and Boston’s Beacon Hill.
Marc Songini is a Boston-area journalist whose work has appeared in the Boston Herald, the Boston Globe and numerous other major publications. He is also the acclaimed author of The Lost Fleet, a chronicle of Yankee whaling and disaster at sea.
