Hoffa was involved with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union as an organizer from 1932 to 1975. He served as the union's General President from 1958 to 1971. He secured the first national agreement for teamsters' rates in 1964, and played a major role in the growth and development of the union, which eventually became the largest single union in the United States, with over 1.5 million members during his terms as its leader. Hoffa, who had been convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery, and fraud in 1964, was imprisoned in 1967, sentenced to 13 years, after exhausting the appeal process. It was not until mid-1971 that he officially resigned the Teamsters' presidency, an action that was part of a pardon agreement with U.S. president Richard Nixon, in order to facilitate his release later that year. Nixon blocked Hoffa from union activities until 1980 which would have been the end of his prison term, had he served the full sentence ; Hoffa was attempting to overturn this order and to regain support. Hoffa was last seen in late July 1975, outside the Machus Red Fox, a suburban Detroit restaurant. 3 Hoffa worked to defend the Teamsters unions from raids by other unions, including the CIO, and extended the Teamsters' influence in the Midwestern states, from the late 1930s to the late 1940s. Although he never actually worked as a truck driver, he became president of Local 299 in December 1946. 8 He then rose to lead the combined group of Detroit-area locals shortly afterwards, and advanced to become head of the Michigan Teamsters groups sometime later. During this time, Hoffa obtained a deferment from military service in World War II, by successfully making a case for his union leadership skills being of more value to the nation, by keeping freight running... $20.00 Moran, J.

(filed under: American History ) * stock image, actual book may vary A passionate and unparalleled look at the lives of the American colonists by the best-selling author of Benjamin Franklin . "This book amounts to an intellectual autobiography....These pieces are thus a statement of what I have thought about early Americans during nearly seventy years in their company," writes historian Edmund S. Morgan. Dividing his work into twenty-four essays with sections on "New Englanders," "Southerners," and "Revolutionaries," Morgan examines the history of the American colonies from the arrival of the first settlers in 1607 to the radical changes brought forth by the American Revolution. Filled with illuminating discussions of American leaders, including Winthrop, Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, the book is extraordinary in its range from the quite lusty sex lives of the Puritans to the witch trials in Salem and the corrosive effects of slavery on the soul of Virginia. No living historian has had a more profound role in shaping our perceptions of the American colonies than Morgan, and The Genuine Article reflects the genius of this modest giant like no other previous wor $3.50 Morgan, Edmund S.

Book #or1122644. (filed under: American History ) * stock image, actual book may vary Morris's book attempts to tell the story of the American mind during the fifty year period of 1896-1946. It surveys the radical changes that occured to the American way of life that led it to becoming the envy of the world, while simultaneously fostering growing disillunsionment among the American people. These changes amounted to a revolution in customs, manner, morals and experience. The parallel deveolopments of progress and disillusion are the subject of this book. Precise and insightul sketches by key figures like Henry Adams, Theodore Dreiser, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry James, Sinclair Lewis, are presented against an intelligent background of social and intellectual history. The author has recreated the spirit in which the American people rode into the jazz age. There is no other single volume that brings together quite as much of the materials of art and life and thought of America as Mr. Morris has here so winningly assembled, nor is there any other that makes our human dilemmas clearer. $10.00 Moss, James Flag of Our United States Rand McNally & Co 1988 hardcover.
