Listen to "Jack Goldsmith Releases The Book In Hoffa's Shadow" on Spreaker. In Hoffa’s Shadow: A Stepfather, a Disappearance in Detroit, and My Search for the Truth is the definitive account of Jimmy Hoffa’s rise and fall, and his infamous disappearance on July 30, 1975, as told by the Harvard Law professor and former senior U. S. Department of Justice official Jack Goldsmith. Goldsmith is the stepson of the leading suspect in the disappearance, Charles “Chuckie” O’Brien, who was Hoffa’s closest aide in the two decades before his disappearance, a close confidant of senior Detroit mob figures, and Mario Puzo’s model for Tom Hagen in The Godfather. In Hoffa’s Shadow cuts through decades of obfuscation and misinformation and sets forth the most objective and revealing assessment of one of the most persistent criminal mysteries in American history.
