Críticas
"I do believe that Russell's history of the Teamsters under Jimmy Hoffa has, strangely, become even more relevant in recent years."-Working USA "...strongly recommended reading."-The Midwest Book Review's Bookwatch "Out of the Jungle delivers a much-needed and more nuanced understanding of a tumultuous period in the history of...the nation."-John Gallagher, Detroit News/Free Press "Russell bravely challenges the received wisdom of the left, the right, and the morally earnest center. If you want to get serious about the real meaning of class in the last century, read this gracefully yet powerfully argued book."-Nelson Lichtenstein "In this gripping biography of Jimmy Hoffa... Thaddeus Russell launches a vigorous attack on the reigning orthodoxy in labor history."-David L. Chappell, Newsday "An unexpectedly enthralling account of Jimmy Hoffa's tactics and aspirations... Russell's history of the Teamsters under Hoffa illustrates the vibrancy of the labor movement-for better or worse-during the middle 50 years of the 20th century."-Kirkus Reviews "[A] well-researched study of the longtime Teamsters leader...[that] could put Hoffa back on the historical map for a new generation of students of labor history."-Publishers Weekly "[T]he Teamsters, the largest A.F.L. affiliate... has been understudied... Russell's motives in seeking to redress this imbalance are certainly commendable."-Maurice Isserman, The New York Times Book Review
Reseña del editor
In Out of the Jungle, historian Thaddeus Russell gives us a detailed, crisply written, and fascinating account of Jimmy Hoffa's life and times, much of it previously untold. Russell argues that Hoffa was compelled by a variety of social forces to place the economic interests of his union members over broad ideological concerns. The most important of those forces was the demonstrated desire of ordinary Teamsters to improve their material lives. \u0022What do you hire us for,\u0022 he famously asked a meeting of truck drivers, \u0022if not to sell your labor at the highest buck we can get?\u0022 He responded to the rank-and-file members' demands as did none of his contemporaries in the labor movement, seeking financial gain with the mercilessness that made him renowned and feared. This new paperback edition will be most cherished by students of labor history and American studies.
