About This Item
NY: Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 2019. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0374175659 . As a young man, Jack Goldsmith revered his stepfather, longtime Jimmy Hoffa associate Chuckie OBrien. But as he grew older and pursued a career in law and government, he came to doubt and distance himself from the man long suspected by the FBI of perpetrating Hoffas disappearance on behalf of the mob. It was only years later, when Goldsmith was serving as assistant attorney general in the George W. Bush administration and questioning its misuse of surveillance and other powers, that he began to reconsider his stepfather, and to understand Hoffas true legacy. In Hoffas Shadow tells the moving story of how Goldsmith reunited with the stepfather hed disowned and then set out to unravel one of the twentieth centurys most persistent mysteries and Chuckies role in it. Along the way, Goldsmith explores Hoffas rise and fall and why the golden age of blue-collar America came to an end, while also casting new light on the century-old surveillance state, the architects of Hoffas disappearance, and the heartrending complexities of love and loyalty.. Several corners turned down, now corrected, one phone number written on ffep, else near fine; otherwise unmarked, tight, square, and clean. The unclipped ($28.00) dust jacket is in excellent condition with only light wear at the head of the spine. VERY GOOD/NEAR FINE. . Photographs. Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. 354, (1) pp .
