This review is from: Portrait in Oil: The Autobiography of Nubar Gulbenkian (Hardcover)

This autobiography by the son of a famous father-son team of oil barons is very absorbing. It gives insights into the nether world of oil-money-politics as it developed in the early 20th century. One character after another comes onto the stage, and we are privy to the innermost activities of all, through this book. Put aside your prejudices, your class connection to learn about how the other one percent lived.
