About THE REAL IRISHMAN: The Young Manhood
You'll be hearing a lot about a $200 million celluloid spectacular called "The Irishman" based on book about a self-described hit man named Frank Sheeran. Johnny Burke was the REAL Irishman & gives the lowdown on Sheeran and much, much else.Johnny Burke, a homeless orphan at 14, didn't have a chance. Or did he? This 70-year history chronicles Burke's rise from homeless waif to the leader of Philadelphia's toughest & most successful gang, and on to become the highest non-Italian member of Philly's La Cosa Nostra, with connections in London, Dublin, Vegas, Hollywood & elsewhere. It also chronicles the events leading up to Philly's bloody gang war of the '80's, which led to a couple of dozen bodies littering the streets of the City of Brotherly Love, and including an unsuccessful plot on Johnny's own life. It contains many never before revealed facts on the real machinations of Mobdom. Reviews/Comments encouraged, sought, and welcomed.
