Art Sloane's Jimmy Hoffa is sure to rekindle the fascination that the legendary labor boss had long held for millions of Americans. Hoffa may no longer be alive, but he surely comes alive on the pages of this book. -- Rep. Tom Carper, Democrat, Delaware Member of Congress "Hoffa is a welcome look at a legendary labor leader who fascinated America." Joe Dirck, The Plain Dealer "I may have faults, but being wrong ain't one of them." James R. Hoffa (1913-1975) While most recent books about Hoffa are fixated on his mob connections, Sloane presents a more complicated figure - a tough, innovative trade unionist who profoundly influenced the industry as well as the union." James Green , Boston Sunday Globe
