Summary:
In this no-secret-left-uncovered look at the rise and fall of the Forbes family, veteran financial journalist Stewart Pinkerton, who worked there for 20 years, brings to life the often incredible machinations and foibles of a century-old media dynasty that rose to glittering heights and crashed just as spectacularly.
