The Westies: Inside New York's Irish Mob by T.J. English [1991 PAPERBACK]

FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION [1991] ST. MARTIN'S PRESS

Mass market paperback.   Cover is excellent.  First few pages have some very mild water damage, but otherwise a nice reading copy in great shape. 

In the tradition of The Godfather, The Westies is a powerful tale spanning 60 years. A gang of Irish-Americans, the Westies patrolled Manhattan's West Side throughout the '60s, '70s, and '80s. They ruled the tough blue-collar neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, where bodies were known to literally fall from the sky.
