The Hoffa wars: Teamsters, rebels, politicians, and the mob by Dan E. MoldeaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Published in 1978 and already the nexus of anti-Castro CIA+Mafia assassination plots morphing into anti-Kennedy sniping (whether allegorical or actual) was already well documented and swirling in the error around Trafficante the rest of the Tampa Mafia, et al including Hoffa hiring goons in a Teamster atmosphere of bombings, beatings and blocking highways with the big rigs of wildcat strikers. Pretty amazing stuff and it all happened here while J. Edgar chose to reject the notion of organized crime and Nixon sent runners to get dirty union and crime kickbacks by the bagful.
