The Westies: Inside New Yorks Irish Mob, Paperback

About This Item

Immerse yourself in the gritty world of organized crime with "The Westies: Inside New York's Irish Mob Paperback." Written by T. J. English, a New York Times bestselling author, this gripping true account takes you deep inside the vicious gang that ruled Hell's Kitchen from the 1960s to the 1980s. The Westies were a fearsome force even among the Mob.

Founded by the sadistic duo Jimmy Coonan and Mickey Featherstone, this gang emerged from the heart of Hell's Kitchen, a decaying neighborhood on New York City's West Side. They quickly gained notoriety for their expertise in extortion, numbers running, loan sharking, and drug peddling. But what truly set them apart was their penchant for execution by dismemberment - an unparalleled level of depravity. Despite never exceeding a dozen members, the Westies reigned supreme for nearly two decades.

However, their violent natures eventually led to their downfall, creating a downfall that became as infamous as their rise to power in the underworld. This revised and updated chronicle of the Westies has even inspired the crime film "State of Grace," starring Sean Penn, Ed Harris, and Gary Oldman. If you are fascinated by stories of organized crime, particularly Irish-American gangs, this book is a must-read. Discover the captivating history of the Irish Mob in New York City, delve into the chilling true stories of the Westies, and gain a deeper understanding of the darker side of American history.
