Brendan Doherty and Joe Broadmeadow will discuss their new book, It’s Just the Way It Was: Inside the War on the New England Mob and Other Stories.
Broadmeadow and Doherty take you inside the investigations, covert surveillances, and murky world of informants in the war against Organized Crime. Make no mistake about it, it was a war targeting the insidious nature of the mob and their detrimental effect on Rhode Island and throughout New England.
