Summary: Makes the irish out to be tougher than gansta rappers
Review: This book is facinating. "Gangs of New York" should of surely won over the escapest "Chicago". Especially in a time of war.
After reading this, one realizes that everything ordinary Americans have is hard fought. My copy has Guinness stains all over.
