Free E-Book: Bulger On Trial

book-cover crop

"Bulger On Trial," investigative reporter David Boeri's extensive coverage of the Whitey Bulger saga, is now available as an updated and expanded e-book published by WBUR.

Boeri's three decades of reporting, together with daily dispatches from the summer 2013 trial, cover the deep backstory of Boston's most notorious mobster, an odious cast of supporting characters, and the corrupted government agency that enabled his rise to power. Boeri challenges the assumption that the guilty verdicts mean justice was served.

“Bulger’s conviction was assured from the start,” Boeri writes. “But the trial was a failure in that it didn’t meet the expectations the public should have for an open trial. It was narrow, and secrets were kept. The prosecutors fought against the release of information at every turn and kept the trial away from questions of who made Bulger what he became and how.”
