About
A 1976 bestselling investigative book co-authored by Peter Collier and David Horowitz, chronicling the oil-and power-endowed American family. It details the business, political, and philanthropic history of the Rockefellers, tracing its fortunes, fame, and the activities and careers of individual sons, brothers, and cousins from the founding father to the fourth trust-funded generation. The book critiques the family's influence in American politics and business, covering the dynasty: the father who built the fortune, the son who cleansed the name, the brothers who manipulated both the name and the fortune to their own ends, and the cousins who often wish they had inherited neither.
