Hoffa: The Real Story is an autobiography by Jimmy Hoffa and Oscar Fraley[1] published in 1975 by Stein & Day.[2] The book was released after Hoffa had disappeared and was presumed dead. It was marketed as a story by Hoffa "as told to" to Fraley.[3]
The book was originally intended for release in February 1976, but the date was pushed forward after Hoffa's disappearance.[3] It was part of a media strategy of Hoffa's, planned to take place before the 1976 Teamsters convention.[4]
In 2019, the book was rereleased by Graymalkin Media.
Hoffa had published an earlier autobiography titled The Trials of Jimmy Hoffa (1970).[5]
