Text is clean and unmarked with no rips, tears, creases, loose or bent pages. The brilliantly written history of one of America's most powerful families in the twentieth century depicting five generations. The Ochses and Sulzbergers not only owned the New York Times for more than 100 years, but a family member has always been at the paper's helm, a position that gave them enormous influence and has been passed down as a birthright. A very powerful and influential family that guarded their privacy, shunning the visibility their stature inherently commanded. This is the first full-scale portrait of this modern American monarchy, a dramatic saga set against a backdrop of world events and the burden and privilege of wealth and power. Here is a story of people who were visionary, supremely confident, racked by insecurities, battling depression, authoritian, brilliant, controversial but flawed individuals, brilliant, strong women whose gender prevented them from achieving official authority of the "Times" but became the family matriarch. An amazing story richly written and well-researched, better than fiction. This is a book you can really get your teeth into, and you won't be able to put it down.
