In Hoffa’s Shadow: A Stepfather, a Disappearance in Detroit, and my Search for Truth

byJack Goldsmith

In Hoffa’s Shadow is Jack Goldsmith's historical account of a Stepfather, a Disappearance in Detroit, and my Search for Truth. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and political science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
