When people talk about the American mafia, they most often speak of New York and, more rarely, Chicago. But the mafia has spread its tentacles far beyond these cities. And the largest city in Massachusetts, Boston, was no exception.
As early as the late 19th century, mobsters began to take over the local underworld, and during the fateful Castellammarese War for the American Mafia, as it was the boss of the Boston family who was regarded as the boss of the American Mafia bosses.
For more than a century in the history of the Boston Mafia a lot happened: wars with other gangs, and influence comparable to the official authorities, and internal squabbles, and, of course, the setup from James Whitey Bulger.
So, if you're interested in hearing what the American Mafia was like outside of New York and Chicago, then meet the Boston Mafia, on the other side of the law.
