| Abstract
|
:
|
"The man who has remained silent for more than a decade finally speaks, revealing the true story of his life inside the infamous South Boston Irish mob led by the elusive, Machiavellian kingpin Whitey Bulger, who to this day remains on the lam as one of the world's Ten Most Wanted criminals, second only to Osama bin Laden." "In Rat Bastards, John "Red" Shea brings that mysterious world and gritty urban Irish American street culture into sharp focus by telling his own story - of his fatherless upbringing, his apprenticeship on the tough streets of Southie, and his love affair with trouble, boxing, and then the gangster life. A man who did the crime, did the time, and held fast to the Irish code of silence, which he was raised to follow at any cost, Shea remains a man of honor and in doing so has become a living legend."--Jacket.
