With novelistic flare, Ward describes how those men's ambitions made them the Kings of America, larger-than-life representatives of the American Dream, but how their fortunes rarely bought them the one thing they craved more than gold--acceptance among America's social elite, the often penniless WASP descendants of the founding families.An captivating history of the greatest American real estate barons and their scions, including everyone from the Astors and Rockefellers to the Trumps and ZeckendorffsIncludes fascinating, little-known details about how the dynasties began, how they amassed their great wealth, and how, from one generation to the next, those fortunes were either expanded or squandered
