Eddie McGrath's life and crimes are traced through the tail-end of Prohibition, the gang warfare of the 1930s that propelled him into the position of an organized crime boss, the sordid years of underworld control over the bustling waterfront, McGrath's involvement in dozens of gangland murders, and finally the decline of the dock mobsters following a period of longshoremen rebellion in the 1950s. Like walking into the backroom of a smoky West Side tavern, the book also features all the other unsavory characters who operated on the waterfront, including McGrath's brother-in-law, John "Cockeye" Dunn; the gang's hitman of choice, Andrew "Squint" Sheridan; racketeers such as Mickey Bowers, Timothy O'Mara, Charlie Yanowsky, Joe Butler and Albert Ackalitis; as well as a plethora of corrupt union officials, robbers, enforcers, shakedown artists, loan sharks, boss loaders, and bookies. This is the real-life story of the preeminent racketeer on Manhattan's lucrative waterfront and the bloodshed that long haunted the ports of New York City. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 McGrath, Eddie|q(Edward J.),|d1906- 650 0 Gangsters|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography. 650 0 Organized crime|zNew York (State)|zNew York|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Stevedores|zNew York (State)|zNew York|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Stevedores|xLabor unions|zNew York (State)|zNew York |xHistory|y20th century. 700 1 Ciulla, Chris Andrew. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12051757?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781541498679_180.jpeg
