John "Red" Shea sheds light on the tumultuous beginnings of the notorious Killeen-Mullen War and the ascent of Whitey Bulger to power. Shea recounts hearing about Bulger from a young age, noting Bulger's familial connections and feared presence in Boston’s Southie. He was revered as a mediator for local disputes and ruled as the unofficial leader of the Irish mob. Before Whitey’s reign as boss, Boston was embroiled in the Killeen-Mullen War, a violent conflict ignited by a feud over a woman between two factions, which claimed multiple lives. Whitey initially worked under Colleen, a loan shark, but soon found himself aligning with the Winter Hill Gang. With the death of his rivals, Whitey Bulger emerged as the leader of the Boston underworld, solidifying his notorious legacy. Meanwhile, Shea's own teenage years, marked by dropping out of high school and petty crimes, set the stage for his deeper involvement in the criminal underworld.
