Laird Evans served as the Business Manager of Local 568 in Shreveport, Louisiana for twenty-five years. Running a Teamsters Local in the shadow of the late and great leader Jimmy Hoffa plus Laird’s devotion to history makes this book all the more compelling to any reader. His story of the good, the bad and the devolving of the American worker is a fascinating read, told from the viewpoint of a man who lived it.
