Jimmy Hoffa's American Fights: A Highly Opinionated History - Paperback

by Andrew Klein (Author)

Jimmy Hoffa's American Fights: A Highly Opinionated History is both an accessible introduction to the life, times, trials, and disappearance of one of the most famous Americans of the 20th Century. Starting when Hoffa was a young man in the about-to-be boomtown of Detroit, the book follows him through his first job as a stock boy at Kroger's Grocery store through his early union agitation against a bad boss named "the Little Bastard," through Hoffa's days as a brawler on Teamsters picket lines, and his rise through that union. Andrew klein's book pulls no punches, defends Hoffa, and destroys the perverse and pervasive influence of the Kennedy clan. A Highly Opinionated History presents a flawed and tragic charismatic hero in Hoffa, a powerful and bullying classic villain in Robert Kennedy, and a lush backdrop of union fights, personal betrayal, and presidential assassinations. Full of some of the most interesting, eccentric and evil characters in American history, if you have a typical American's fascination with mob figures and gangsters, you need to read this book. Intense, well-researched, and full of fire and passion, Jimmy Hoffa's American Fights is a history unlike any other. Buy it today and fire up your populist blood.
