On Aug 18 2008, Armyofone said:
Book is definitely a good read, a little unjust in his take on how the brothers actualy assisted each other. I really don't think that Billy would have risked his career to assist his brother the way Howie speaks, although I do feel he new more of his brothers dealings than he will admitt. And I don't think Whitey would have been caught helping his brother since he was smart enough not to be too closely connected with the criminals under him. Quite an interesting look at politics and the city of Boston. Seems like some things just don't change, in Boston's case it just the players that change.
