Witwer provides a thorough analysis of what we "know" about the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT)--that the union is one of the most corrupt organizations in the labor movement--and examines how "corruption" is defined. While not portraying the IBT leaders as anti-heroes, like Thaddeus Russell did for Jimmy Hoffa in Out of the Jungle, Witwer does provide a more nuanced view of why corruption was less of a concern within the union than it proved to be on the outside.
