Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show. I have a very special guest. His name is Craig McGuire. Last name is spelled MCG, UI,R, and he's just published a book in November 2025. If you're watching this on my three YouTube channels, which I magically got back in October, or on X or on Rockfin or Rumble, you'll see the title.

The full title is Empire City Under Siege.

Three decades of New York FBI field office, man hunts, murders, and mafia wars.

It really is a significant time in American history, particularly in New York City.

So many things going on.

Some of the things that I don't really remember very well.

And there's stories in here that I'm glad he retells or tells because I didn't know them.

I remember stuff that we're going to get into like Dog Day afternoon or things like that.

I didn't know some of the stuff. But he wrote this book with the FBI special agents.

So kind of an elite agent within the FBI.

His name was Anthony John Nelson.

And so that's kind of his story.

It's kind of a bio of him, but also kind of a historical book.

This is not Craig McGuire's first book.

He's also written Carmine and the 13th Avenue Boys, surviving Brooklyn's Colombo mob,

and that achieved number one Amazon bestseller, bestseller status in the biographies and memoirs of criminals and it's obviously a best

seller it has like 500 five star reviews or 4.5 star reviews on amazon alone so obviously a lot of

people read that but craig has also worn many hats he's a successful writer editor designer

photographer community reporter and new media

journalist.

So he does a lot of other stuff.

I know he's working on other projects, but he can talk about that.
