Whitey Bulger – Book List

It’s official: Whitey Bulger has been found guilty (opens new tab) – of a whole lot of stuff – and will presumably be spending the rest of his life behind bars.  Many of us would like to forget all about the notorious thug but, human nature being what it is, a fair number of us want to know all there is to know about Whitey and his doings.  To that end, here’s a list of relevant books available through the Minuteman Library Network.
