HISTORY. "Fully documented expose of Jimmy Hoffa's career and business dealings...reads like a guide to corruption - in labor, in government, in business, in the courts. Hoffa's record of power-building is unmatched in US history. At the base of his empire is the Teamsters Pension Fund, a $1 billion kitty which has been used for years to aid a strange assortment of allies and to exercise political power. .. Sheridan names all the names, uncovers all the middlemen and traces every criminal act and payoff that came to light in the fifteen-year federal investigation that culminated in Hoffa's imprisonment. .. Perhaps most incredible is the astonishing story of the large-scale maneuvering - the promises, the threats, the politics, the fixing - that led to Hoffa's release. And the story isn't over yet. James Riddle Hoffa wants his union back and refuses to let anything stand in his way. " Obviously written before the disappearance of Hoffa. ... Index. .
