A Good History Of Getty!,

This review is from: Giants of American Industry - John Paul Getty (Library Binding)
This book is an outstanding history of J. Paul Getty. It well covers the story of his business career and the building of a sizeable fortune. This book covers his career from the beginning until his death in 1976. The novel also points out the fact that Getty was a millionaire at a young age. This publication also gives good coverage to the establishment of the Getty museum.It is pointed out that Getty,in his older years had actually become a philanthropist. This book is without question a very good coverage of the life of one of the giants in American industry. Read this book. You will be well satisfied.
