Learn moreThis is the story of an American dynasty. It begins with John D. Rockefeller, Sr., who amassed a fortune amid the muck and disorder of the Pennsylvania oil fields and left his son to deal with the public outcry. It follows Rockefeller junior as he built the charities and foundations that made the name a public institution, and it tracks the lives of the junior Rockefeller's five brothers, including David, whose name became synonymous with the world of banking and finance, and Nelson, future governor and presidential aspirant.
This is a saga of immense dimensions cast against the backdrop of our country's history with a spectacular array of characters. Collier and Horowitz reveal the myths, rumors, scandals, and, above all, the endlessly enthralling, often shocking truth about this unparalleled American family.
Peter Collier has worked as an author and editor for over forty years. During that time, he has written novels, short stories and screenplays, along with bestselling biographies. His works include The Kennedys: An American Dream and The Anti-Chomsky Reader, both with David Horowitz.
David Horowitz is one of America’s most original and iconoclastic political commentators. He is the coauthor of the New York Times bestsellers The Rockefellers and The Kennedys. He is a founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center and lives in California.
Michael Anthony is an actor and director with a lengthy resume in the Washington, DC, area.
Reviews
“A tale of family tensions and neuroses, of money, influence, and power…vivid, absorbing…remarkable!”
“A startling tale emerges, shattering all we know and believe about the Rockefellers, destroying the legend brutally with significant revelations—and yet, winning a depth of sympathy for Rockefellers which three generations of PR men have not been able to manufacture.”
“Impressive and intelligent…Skillfully organized and presented so that it matters—not only to those curious about the Rockefellers, but to anyone curious about money and power in our society.”
“A skillful portrait of great wealth…A vast sweep of world-shaping episodes, dates, and names.”
