I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt

An interesting book about Hoffa and the Mafia after WW 2 till the 70's. It has a good account of war action and atrocities. There are shocking revelations about Gen. Patton as well as Mafia members. For me, it lays to rest any doubt I had about Hoffa's demise. It has great descriptions of the Mafia and its fund raising activities. When it got to the trial scenes, I found that it had a lot of rambling. You have to keep in mind that this is the later in life of confessions of a man who has killed at least 25 men. Memory does fade.I recommend this book if you are interested in labor activities during this time period.
