Review


"I may have faults, but being wrong ain't one of them."
James R. Hoffa (1913-1975)

Product Description
Arthur Sloane first met Jimmy Hoffa in 1962 and he has been fascinated by this powerful figure ever since. Now, nearly 30 years later, Sloane has written the only comprehensive biography of the late Teamster leader. Hoffa is a rich and colorful portrait that covers in considerable detail all the facets of Hoffa's remarkable life and death.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Union organizers, October 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hoffa (Paperback)
Sloane takes us on a journey through Hoffa's life. From his early childhood, to the end. Sloane spends time on Hoffa's relationship with Ferral Dobbs and the tactics and strategies that he learned in Minneapolis that Made Hoffa one of the most effective Union organizers of all time. This book literally cuts through the crap and vilification and shows Hoffa the man, the Union organizer, and the Union leader. A must read
