Publisher's Synopsis
In "Hoffa" Arthur Sloane presents a comprehensive biography of the late Teamster leader, having had full access to Jimmy Hoffa's family, friends and professional associates. "Hoffa" is a colourful portrait of this powerful and contradictory character, one of the most influential figures in American labour. It covers all the facets of Hoffa's remarkable life and death - his rise to total dominance over the largest, strongest and wealthiest union in American history, his near-Victorian personal habits, the legal problems that plagued his later years, and the shadowy events surrounding his presumed Mafia murder in 1975.
