The Hoffa Wars: The Rise and Fall of Jimmy Hoffa (Forbidden Bookshelf)

The definitive portrait of the powerful, corruption-ridden Teamsters union and its legendary president, Jimmy Hoffaâ€”organizer, gangster, convict, and conspiratorâ€”with a new afterword by the author

James Riddle â€œJimmyâ€ 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 Moldeaâ€™s no-holds-barred account include the devilâ€™s bargain that put Hoffa and his union in the pockets of the Mob, Hoffaâ€™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 Hoffaâ€™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 Americaâ€™s most terrible twentieth-century crime: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
