A profane, often brutal memoir . . . Nee maintained an uneasy alliance with Bulger while pursuing his personal cause - raising money and smuggling weapons for the Irish Republican Army. <br>-- The Boston Herald <br> Nee commits some horrible crimes, from attempted murder to armed robbery. Yet even as he chases someone with a rifle through South Boston, he's the sort of guy you want to root for . . . Scenes in which Nee interacts with his parents or siblings are most touching. He's a good son, a bit of a smart-aleck and a fine drinking buddy as well as a gunrunner and would be assassin. -- The Lawrence Eagle-Tribune
