Kill the Irishman

Over the summer of 1976, 36 bombs detonate in the heart of Cleveland while a turf war raged between Irish mobster Danny Greene and the Italian mafia. "Kill the Irishman" chronicles Greene's heroic rise from a tough Cleveland neighborhood to become an enforcer in the local mob. Turning the tables on loan shark Shondor Birns and allying himself with gangster John Nardi, Greene stops taking orders from the mafia and pursues his own power. Surviving countless assassination attempts from the mob and killing… Show more off anyone who went after him in retaliation, Danny Greene's infamous invincibility and notorious fearlessness eventually led to the collapse of mafia syndicates across the U.S. and also earned him the status of the man the mob couldn't kill.

Gangster tale ‘Irishman’ has heart, if not brains

March 18, 2011 - Boston.com - Mark Feeney/Globe Staff

Think of Danny Greene, a Cleveland mobster during the ’60s and ’70s, as his own repertory company. A little bit of Jimmy Hoffa (Danny got his start in the unions). A little bit of Whitey Bulger (an Irishman coexisting with the Mafia, he’s a secret FBI informant). A little bit of Crazy Joey Gallo (self-publicity and unpredictability are his preferred poison). And a lot of Legs Diamond (he’s survived almost as many attempts on his life as there are counties in Ireland — Eire and the north combined).
