The Mafia sure didn't corner the market on crime and violence. I never read about the Irish Mob in New York. The beginnings are like the beginnings for the Sicilians/Italians. Squashed in tenements and facing prejudice in employment, they had few options. For the Irish, it was the priesthood, the police or join a gang. Seems like the Irish and Italian Mobs had it all under a sort of control with their understandings with the NYC police, politicians and neighborhood people...until the 60's when drugs came in, the younger guys came up and the old guys started dying out (or were murdered). The Irish, in particular Coonan, became extremely, absurdly, irrationally murderous. At the same time, Coonan meets up with Castellano and they come to an agreement. But Coonan made a mistake when he didn't look after the family of his main man when he was in prison. That, IMO, was the beginning of the end.This is written well and fascinating, although I must admit--I skimmed when the author described the killings and cutting up. Can't take that aspect anymore.Highly recommended.
Normally, when one thinks of gangster culture, people like Capone and Gotti and the Gambino family come to mind; or in other words, Italians and the Mafioso. This is mainly due to Hollywood, which is why when i came across The Westies, I had to read it, because i was aware of the Irish mob but didn't really know any of their stories.I'm glad i did because the thing that makes The Westies such a good read isn't the disturbing violence of the Hell's Kitchen Irish mob and how they'd make bodies disappear, but the surprising humanity of one player in particular: Mickey Featherstone. This is really his story and how he went from Coonan's right hand man, to stool pigeon, to a new man redeemed of his past. I recommend this book to any fan of true crime, mobster tales, and stories of redemption.
This is a great book written about the notorious Irish NY gang, the Westies. It's reads very easily and moves quickly, despite it's 500 page plus content. I highly recommend this book to any true crime historians. A fascinating account of one of the most brutal organized crime gangs in the history of the United States. The American Italian Mafia had codes and rules, the Westies had none, which eventually lead to their downfall.
The Westies controlled the West Side of Manhattan, known as Hell's Kitchen (currently Clinton). TJ English takes us through a history of the Westies, primarily as a personal history of several of the main characters. Of these characters, Mickey Featherstone was perhaps the most interesting.There is no doubt Featherstone was a nasty sort-you certainly didn't want to be on his bad side. But he also had some interesting touches that made him a very complex and multi-dimensional character. If I had to characterize him, he was sort of a anti-Shakespearean hero...a man who is basically evil, but with a tragic "good" flaw.I won't spoil the excitement of the book by revealing too many details, but English does a very credible job of relating the trials and tribulations of Featherstone, fellow gangster Jimmy Coonan, and a host of other mostly despicable characters.The Westies were a loose organization-even their name came from the newspapers-but were a constant target of organized crime investigators. The book ends with the virtual elimination of the Westies as a gang, although Realtors and Developers may have been as much responsible as cops and prosecutors.There is a fair amount of blood and gore in the book, but while somewhat graphic, is not overly sensationalized or highlighted. The book is easy and almost "fun" to read. I found myself actually "rooting" for Featherstone, as his character does create sympathy and empathy, despite his obvious character flaws.So if you are a fan of crime history, especially relating to NYC or organized crime, you will enjoy this volume.
I generally tend to judge nonfiction works by whether or not they read like a great fictional story (i.e. whether they keep me entertained and looking forward to reading more). This book fit the bill. It is an account of the rise and fall of a Hell's Kitchen gang of organized criminals during the 60s and 70s, starting with a brief history of Irish organized crime in New York (and by extension, a brief overview of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood).The book follows one criminal in particular, Mickey Featherstone, but it provides insight into the gang from various vantage points: the criminals themselves, the police investigating them, and the attorneys representing them.I do highly recommend this book. I gave it four stars only because it became very cumbersome to follow the different criminals and their relationship to Featherstone or Coonan (the so-called head of the Westies). I would have appreciated a few reminders sprinkled throughout the book so that the minor characters didn't all get mixed up in my mind.
What a massive amount of material to catalogue, correlate, classify, and weave into a cohesive, understandable and engaging narrative. English did a great job. This is not an easy book to read, and it’s not like watching a movie where one can sit with eyes closed until the messy, bloody parts are over...it is hair raising, stomach turning, toe curling, creep cringing stuff.
