Produktbeschreibung

Three exposés of corruption-behind the NFL, the Teamsters and Jimmy Hoffa, and Ronald Reagan-from an investigative reporter who "never relents" ( The Washington Post). Interference: A shocking exposé of widespread corruption and mob influence throughout the National Football League-on the field, in the owners' boxes, and in the corporate suites. "[A] true and terrifying picture of a business whose movers and shakers seem to have more connections to gambling and the mob than to touchdowns and Super Bowls." -Keith Olbermann The Hoffa Wars: The definitive portrait of the powerful, corruption-ridden Teamsters union and its legendary president, Jimmy Hoffa-organizer, gangster, convict, and conspirator-whose disappearance in 1975 remains one of the great unsolved mysteries. "Mr. Moldea's view of [the Hoffa] wars, which reached its greatest intensity when Robert Kennedy was Attorney General, may explain not only Mr. Hoffa's disappearance, but the assassination of John Kennedy as well." - The Wall Street Journal Dark Victory: A "smoldering indictment" of the corrupt influences that rescued Ronald Reagan's acting career, made him millions (resulting in a federal grand jury hearing), backed his political career, and shaped his presidency ( Library Journal). "[Moldea] has, through sheer tenacity, amassed an avalanche of ominous and unnerving facts. [ Dark Victory is] a book about power, ego, and the American way." - Los Angeles Times
