An intriguing book with a timely release. Goldsmith's work contradicts Martin Scorsese's film, The Irishman. In the film, Frank Sheeran is portrayed as Jimmy Hoffa's confidant. Whereas in reality, Hoffa took in Chuckie O'Brien (the main protagonist in this book who literally shadowed Hoffa) as a son and later as his right hand man for many years. There are many other details in the book that counter what is told in the film.

Goldsmith provided in-depth historical research from Hoffa's Teamsters years up to his disappearance. More interestingly, Goldsmith is the son in law to O'Brien.

If you are interested in the Hoffa disappearance, American legal history and the American Mafia, you will enjoy reading this book.
