You'll be amazed to learn just how close the FBI and the Irish mob were in Boston. An fascinating look at how the relationship developed and how the "good guys" looked the other way or aided the "bad guys" in avoided prosecution. Is it any different now? Well, Whitey Bulger is still on the lam and not one law enforcement agency has been able to catch him. Interesting, eh??
