- catalog abstract "Devil's Pact is the sometimes startling, often shocking, altogether gripping story of America's most controversial labor union, the men who ran it, the lives ensnared by it. Written by a former adviser to four union presidents, this first true insider's account tells what really took place behind the marble facade of the Teamsters' headquarters. We learn about the deal presidential candidate Ronald Reagan made to ignore the Mafia's control of the Teamsters in order to. Get the union's endorsement. The author also reveals how the Teamsters set up a multimillion-dollar slush fund to help elect Bill Clinton president. Complete with previously unpublished materials drawn from confidential sources as well as the author's own fourteen-year involvement with the highest reaches of the union hierarchy, Devil's Pact brings to light the underground history of this infamous labor union. Carrying the reader from the fearsome reign of Jimmy Hoffa to. His mysterious disappearance (including an explanation of how he died), from the ascendancy of Jackie Presser to the mob domination that led to a federal crackdown, and to present clashes of "reformist" leaders, this book explodes the fables and exposes the foibles that have surrounded the union and its leaders. Encountered between the covers is an astonishing cast of characters - JFK, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Bill Clinton, Sylvester Stallone, and. Numerous others - all of whom played a role in the unfolding Teamsters drama.".
