The definitive portrait of the powerful, corruption-ridden
Teamsters union and its legendary president, Jimmy Hoffa-organizer,
gangster, convict, and conspirator-with a new afterword by the
author James Riddle "Jimmy" Hoffa was one of the most fascinating
and controversial figures in twentieth-century America. His
remarkable journey from young union organizer to all-powerful head
of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is an epic tale
worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, jam-packed with intrigue,
subterfuge, violence, and corruption. His successes were
monumental, his fall truly spectacular, and his bizarre
disappearance in the summer of 1975 remains one of the great
mysteries in American history. Widely considered to be the
definitive volume on the career and crimes of Jimmy Hoffa, The
Hoffa Wars, by acclaimed investigative journalist Dan E. Moldea, is
an eye-opening, extensively researched account of the steady rise
and fall of an ingenious, ambitious man who was instrumental in
transforming a small union of seventy-five thousand truckers into
the most powerful labor brotherhood in world. Shocking disclosures
in Moldea's no-holds-barred account include the devil's bargain
that put Hoffa and his union in the pockets of the Mob, Hoffa's
role in the joint CIA-Mafia plots to kill Cuban leader Fidel
Castro, the deal Hoffa made with US president Richard Nixon that
released the disgraced Teamster president from prison eight years
early, and the truth behind Hoffa's eventual disappearance and
likely murder. But perhaps the most startling revelation of all
concerns the integral part Jimmy Hoffa played, in concert with
underworld kingpins Carlos Marcello and Santos Trafficante, in
America's most terrible twentieth-century crime: the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy.
