King of the Rum Runners: The Life of Big Bill Dwyer

This is the untold story of the most successful Rum Runner on the East Coast of America during Prohibition.

He rubbed shoulders with countless mobsters and gangsters, politicians and sports heroes, owned several professional sports teams and horse racing tracks. But it was not meant to last.
