Harold Gibbons, the leader of St. Louis's Teamsters Union, was for years the right-hand man of Jimmy Hoffa, the union's national boss. A progressive himself, Gibbons was instrumental in ending racial discrimination in St. Louis. This book reveals for the first time the full story of Gibbons's secret work with Kissinger and Hoffa to bring an end to the Vietnam War.

Harold Gibbons (1910-1982), leader of St. Louis Teamsters Local 688, fought and defeated Communists and mobsters and was instrumental in ending racial discrimination in the union. His many friends included Frank Sinatra and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. For a few years, he was Jimmy Hoffa''s right-hand man--the two fell out after the Kennedy assassination, which Hoffa celebrated and Gibbons mourned. Exploring his day-to-day work, the author reveals the full story of Gibbons'' secret effort with Kissinger and Hoffa to bring an end to the Vietnam War.
