"The Irish King of Winter Hill: The True Story of James J. “Buddy” McLean"

BOSTON - Nov. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- What role did the mob play in Boston in the early 1960s? Find out in the dramatic real-life story The Irish King of Winter Hill: The True Story of James J. “Buddy” McLean.

You’ve seen movies and TV shows about the mob. Now it’s time to hear the truth. Written by Michael McLean, the son of The Irish King of Winter Hill, this book sheds light on this explosive period of history that happened on the streets and docks of Boston fifty years ago.

The True Story of James J. “Buddy” McLean is told by Michael McLean, who wants to set the record straight about his father, a man best remembered for eliminating the McLaughlin Gang from the Charlestown area of the city during the early 1960s McLean-McLaughlin Irish gang war. Buddy, who worked on the Boston docks in the late 1950s and early 1960s with his father’s union card, was a teamster during this era when gangsters ran the docks.

Says the author, “I have read all the books and the information on the Internet about my father, and most of it is wrong. After talking to his closest friends, I decided I would set the record straight.” The book outlines the rise of Buddy McLean from a hardworking truck driver, to leading the now infamous Winter Hill Gang, to his murder in 1965.

About the Author: Michael McLean grew up in Somerville, Massachusetts, where most of this book takes place. He now lives in South Boston. The first-time author works on the docks using his father’s union card, which has been handed down for three generations.
