    The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company by Robert Iger: Conversation Starters

    The book, In Hoffa's Shadow: A Stepfather, A Disappearance in Detroit, and My Search for the Truth, is written by Jack Landman Goldsmith, a Harvard Professor of law and who is widely recognized for his stint as the head the Office of Legal Counsel during second Bush administration. It is an emotionally powerful and utterly compelling book that weaves a beautiful tale of parental love through the threads of the history of the labor movement, a reflection on the government’s surveillance powers and offers startling insights into organized crime. The book is an effort of the author to attempt an investigation of facts and information that tied his stepfather to the mysterious disappearance of the union leader, Jimmy Hoffa.
