Joe Franco for 30 years Hoffa's right hand man, labor enforcer, and trusted lieutenant tells all. In a sizzling indictment of power abused , Franco Details the corruption, bribery extortion and murder- and he answers the questions that we ask.-What was the Teamster connection to the underworld.. Who really killed Jimmy Hoffa and why?
_Why did a Hoffa/Kennedy deal turn into a vendetta?
- What went down when the big time pols, teamster leaders, gangsters and Hollywood moguls got together to do business?
-How did the Teamsters become one of the most powerful unions in the world and why?
-And much more!!!

This book reads like a terrifying novel but it is the true story of Jimmy Hoffa and the teamsters. The rank and file of the Teamsters were not corrupt; but their top people were. Unfortunately, the ranks and file had no choice but to be in the union or be dead. But they were not the evil, violent element of the Teamsters..
