The Irishman is great art . . . but it is not, as we know, great history . . . Frank Sheeran . . . surely didn't kill Hoffa . . . But who pulled the trigger? . . . For some of the real story, and for a great American tale in itself, you want to go to Jack Goldsmith's book, In Hoffa's Shadow." --Peggy Noonan, The Wall Street Journal

In Hoffa's Shadow is compulsively readable, deeply affecting, and truly groundbreaking in its re-examination of the Hoffa case . . . a monumental achievement. --James Rosen, The Wall Street Journal

As a young man, Jack Goldsmith revered his stepfather, longtime Jimmy Hoffa associate Chuckie O'Brien. But as he grew older and pursued a career in law and government, he came to doubt and distance himself from the man long suspected by the FBI of perpetrating Hoffa's disappearance on behalf of the mob. It was only years later, when Goldsmith was serving as assistant attorney general in the George W. Bush administration and questioning its misuse of surveillance and other powers, that he began to reconsider his stepfather, and to understand Hoffa's true legacy.

In Hoffa's Shadow tells the moving story of how Goldsmith reunited with the stepfather he'd disowned and then set out to unravel one of the twentieth century's most persistent mysteries and Chuckie's role in it. Along the way, Goldsmith explores Hoffa's rise and fall and why the golden age of blue-collar America came to an end, while also casting new light on the century-old surveillance state, the architects of Hoffa's disappearance, and the heartrending complexities of love and loyalty.

The Perfect Hoodie for Warm Weather Comfort
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
I've been on the lookout for something exactly like this... a hoodie with the look and feel of a sweatshirt, but without all that heavy fleece that can become uncomfortable when temperatures rise. This Amazon Essentials Lightweight Jersey Pullover Hoodie turned out to be just the solution I needed. Right out of the package, I noticed the material felt soft and airy, like a premium-quality T-shirt rather than a traditional hoodie. The lightweight fabric hits just the right balance: thin enough to remain cool and breathable, yet substantial enough to give you that hoodie vibe you're after. This makes it especially great when the weather is too warm for your thicker hoodies but still a bit too breezy for just a tee. The fit is exactly what I was hoping for... comfortable without being baggy, and relaxed enough to allow easy movement. It drapes nicely, so it never looks awkward or ill-fitting. The hood itself is perfectly sized—not overly bulky, but still practical if you need a bit of coverage. No shrinkage when washed and didn't fade. I've found this hoodie to be ideal for casual days around town, lounging, or even traveling. It layers well, making it versatile for spring, early summer evenings, or warmer fall days. If you're looking for something comfortable, lightweight, and stylish enough to pull off the hoodie look in warmer weather, this is absolutely worth picking up.

My new favorite hoodie!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Charcoal Heather
I love this, this is my new go-to hoodie! It's very soft and breathable, it's roomy and comfortable, and it's not too heavy. I've washed it a few times and it's held up well. For the price, you really can't go wrong. I'll probably end up buying a couple more colors.

Sleeves are too short
Size: Large, Color: Black
Good quality about as thick as heavy t shirt. The only issue is the sleeves are a tad short which is a bit disappointing. Not sure I will buy this again. I’m 5-7 175 and ordered a large and it fits well. Just a smidge oversized like I prefer.

Lightweight and comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
Lightweight yet warm. Bought an XL for my husband who is 6’ 2”, weighs about 180 lbs, and has long arms. Fits a bit loose but not too big but have to size up so the length in the arms fit better. He runs warm so dislikes anything that makes him hot, so this material was great. Did not discolor or shrink in the wash, which was a bonus.
