A portrait of four generations of the Morgenthau family, a dynasty of power brokers and public officials with an outsize influence extending from daily life in New York City to the shaping of the American Century.
What The Reviewers Say
Andrew Meier makes a 1,046-page case for a different kind of dynasty, one where the protagonists have little in common except their inherited privilege.
Sweeping.
Meier draws on hundreds of hours of interviews and prodigious archival research to craft an absorbing narrative following four generations of one of America’s most prominent families.
