Overview
"The Irishman is great art . . . but it is not, as we know, great history . . . Frank Sheeran . . . surely didnāt kill Hoffa . . . But who pulled the trigger? . . . For some of the real story, and for a great American tale in itself, you want to go to Jack Goldsmithās book, In Hoffaās Shadow.ā āPeggy Noonan, The Wall Street Journal
"In Hoffaās Shadow is compulsively readable, deeply affecting, and truly groundbreaking in its re-examination of the Hoffa case . . . a monumental achievement." āJames Rosen, The Wall Street Journal
As a young man, Jack Goldsmith revered his stepfather, longtime Jimmy Hoffa associate Chuckie OāBrien. 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 Hoffaās 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 Hoffaās true legacy.
In Hoffaās Shadow tells the moving story of how Goldsmith reunited with the stepfather heād disowned and then set out to unravel one of the twentieth centuryās most persistent mysteries and Chuckieās role in it. Along the way, Goldsmith explores Hoffaās 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 Hoffaās disappearance, and the heartrending complexities of love and loyalty.
