What is The Du Pont Dynasty about?
<p>Hidden in one of the smallest states of the Union, living in feudal splendor, is a singular family — proud, aloof, prolific —, which today controls a greater slice of American wealth than has ever before fallen into private hands. They are the Du Ponts of Delaware. The Du Ponts, who have long dominated Delaware, have only recently emerged into the larger arena of national affairs. In 1932, several prominent members of the clan, ardent wets, supported Franklin D. Roosevelt. This they consider their biggest blunder and are now vigorously fighting the New Deal through the American Liberty League. The present volume is the first full length portrait of this extraordinary family."THIS is a lively excursion into the private annals of the mighty Du Pont family which has lived in splendour for five generations on its feudal barony in Delaware—industriously making gunpowder and profits. The inside story is revealed with wit and enthusiasm."<br></p>
