From 1957 to 1964, Robert Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa channeled nearly all of their considerable powers into destroying each other. Kennedy's battle with Hoffa burst into the public consciousness with the 1957 Senate Rackets Committee hearings and intensified when his brother named him attorney general in 1961. RFK put together a 'Get Hoffa' squad within the Justice Department, devoted to destroying one man. But Hoffa, with nearly unlimited Teamster funds, was not about to roll over. Drawing upon a treasure trove of previously secret and undisclosed documents, James Neff has crafted a brilliant, heart-pounding epic of crime and punishment, a saga of venom and relentlessness and two men willing to do anything to demolish each other"--From publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Prologue: Dark Forces -- The Blinding -- Life Is a Jungle -- Jump Off the Capitol -- Lucky Bastard -- The First Face-Off -- Hoffa for President -- Mafia Conclave -- Keep the Pressure On -- Promising Leads -- Primary Opponent -- Nixon's Favor -- Get Hoffa Squad -- A Brazen Girl -- Planting a Snitch -- Trouble at Home -- Get to the Jury -- Epilogue: In Love with Night. 600 10 $a Kennedy, Robert F., $d 1925-1968 $x Adversaries. 600 10 $a Hoffa, James R. $q (James Riddle), $d 1913- $x Adversaries. 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Senate $b Senate $v Biography. 650 0 $a Labor unions $z United States $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 610 20 $a International Brotherhood of Teamsters $v Biography. 650 0 $a Labor unions $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Organized crime $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Vendetta $z United States. $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a TRUE CRIME / Organized Crime. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006092731.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719024433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=70DE808ABB5811E5975055C9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
