Description
Badfellas is a gripping account of how organized crime evolved in Ireland over the past four decades. Drawing on his vast inside knowledge and unparalleled range of contacts, Paul Williams provides a chilling insight into the godfathers and events that have dominated gangland since the late 1960s.
In the aftermath of the introduction of heroin to Ireland by Dublin's Dunne family in the late 1970s, the lucrative drug trade led to gang wars that have corroded communities and devastated countless lives. This book traces the shocking depths to which the mobsters have sunk, offering a gripping and unflinching look at the world of organized crime.
For anyone concerned about keeping communities safe, Badfellas is a thought-provoking read that sheds light on the darker side of Irish history.
