About this listen

 You’re in luck! This is the supplemented, revised 2024 edition for hardcover. It has increased from 273 pp. to 474 pp.! Almost double. Among the subjects covered are these: You've heard a lot about a $200 million Scorsese/DeNiro celluloid spectacular called "The Irishman" based on book about a self-described hit man named Frank Sheeran. Johnny Burke was the REAL Irishman & exposes Sheeran as a serial liar with a Walter Mitty complex who never killed anybody, much less Hoffa, Joe Gallo, JFK, and the rest of his 30 imaginary "victims".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.. Organized Crime True Crime
