The United States has always opened its arms to the huddled masses of Irish men and women, who have left their native land for a better life, and most have repaid this hospitality many times over.
Twenty-three of the 46 presidents of the United States claim Irish descent. The first man on the moon Neil Armstrong’s ancestors came from Fermanagh and Tyrone. In the world of business, Henry Ford, the inventor of the modern assembly line, considered himself both an American and a West Cork man. Ireland has also given the US millions of ordinary men and women who have led lives as good citizens contributing to the growth of American society.
When you think of the Irish in America, an iconic image is of the cops who pounded the beat of New York and other major American cities such as Boston and Chicago. However, an unsavoury side to the Irish in America has always been the rise of — and violence caused by — the Irish American gangsters. This Irish Wise Guts highlights the stories of the most famous of these men, many of whom became America’s most wanted criminals and some even Public Enemy Number 1.
The Irish Wise Guys is a no-holds-barred account focusing on the most notorious Irish American Gangsters. Crime bosses for whom death and destruction was a daily currency in their lives. Men who made millions and rarely died a natural death!
Gangsters like Whitey Bulger, Vincent ‘Mad Dog’ Coll, George ‘Machine Gun’ Kelly and Owney ‘The Killer’ Madden. In different circumstances these men could have been captains of industry, politicians, or even union leaders. Instead, they choose a path of crime that would make them into some of the most wanted men in America.
