Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 41
One of America's greatest investigative reporters brings to life the gripping, no-holds-barred clash of two American titans: Robert Kennedy and his nemesis, Jimmy Hoffa. From 1957 to 1964, Robert Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa channeled nearly all of their considerable powers into destroying each other. Kennedy's battle with Hoffa burst into the public consciousness with the 1957 Senate Rackets Committee hearings and intensified when his brother named him attorney general in 1961.

Another in the hundreds of gushing Kennedy Lovefes
Revisado: 05-01-21
Assuming that there may be a volume finally written objectively, and deeply in the fued between these two men, I gave it a read /listen. After two chapters I had to force myself to finish. Here,over fifty years later, we still have supposedly intelligent, grown men, continuously gushing in their writing with revisionist zeal. Hoffa was no angel, but neither were the Kennedy's. It's difficult to not believe that this battle was at least waged in part , to dilute the power of american labor and it succeeded.
This book is well written, and carries some nice anecdotes about the political climate at the time. But the gushing over the moral value of RFK is nauseating. It was amusing to hear the author snidely jab at Harold Gibbons lavish spending on female companions, while never mentioning a single tryst or the countless disturbing orgies of the Kennedy brothers. I mention this only to highlight the obvious bias of the author.
Alas I am still waiting for that objective volume.

In Man of Constant Sorrow, Grammy® Award winner Ralph Stanley opens up about his expansive career as an old-time musician. Stanley grew up in the Virginia mountains and first learned music from his banjo-playing mother. He interrupted his musical career to farm for a short time, but soon returned to music with his brother Carter. Later in his career, Stanley gained popularity after being featured in the hit motion picture soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Stop the singing. Please.
Revisado: 04-27-21
Ralph Stanley as a vocalist is an international treasure. The performer here is not. For gods sake stop the singing.
This is an important contribution to the historical preservation of a music where posterity was trumped by survival. Anyone interested in the history of bluegrass should add this to their library
