How elegantly Christopher Ogden has told the fascinating tale of the billionaire philanthropist Walter Annenberg's love for his father, Moses Annenberg, whose prison sentence brought shame and embarrassment to his family. What a great pleasure to read about the good rich, who understand the obligations of being rich. (Dominick Dunne)
If business interests you, or politics, or mass culture, or a good gossip about Hollywood and Washington, you will like this book... The same goes for Philidelphia, WASP versus Jew, big-city newspapering of searing family heartache. It's like a great novel (NEW YORK OBSERVER)
A meticulous and fascinating account... well-researched, well-written, excellent reporting... rigorous scrutiny... a riveting story of the lifetime legacy that Moe left Walter and what Walter made of it. (BALTIMORE SUN)
Gripping... robust narrative... a revealing warts and all portrait. (PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY)
Reseña del editor
The father fled East Prussia to escape the 1880s pogroms and, as a penniless immigrant boy, hawked newspapers on the streets of Chicago. The son, who lives on Philadelphia's Main Line and on a palatial California estate, is a multibillionaire and America's most generous living philanthropist. Legacy is an epic saga of how Moses and Walter Annenberg built a vast publishing empire and one of the nation's greatest family fortunes. Seeping through the century, the story encompasses brutal circulation wars, bookie parlours and racetracks, a lethal presidential vendetta, the glory days of Hollywood and of television, diplomatic drawing rooms, White House intrigues, tangled romances, a tragic suicide, extravagant social climbing, the Royal Family, a fabled art collection and astonishing generosity. Unauthorised but written with unprecedented access to the Annenberg family and their private papers, Legacy is at once a moving story of a family's triumph, a rich cultural history and an irresistible reading experience.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First United Kingdom Printing. viii, 615, [1] pages. Illustrations. Interviews. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Some wear/small tear to DJ edges. From the bestselling biographer of Pamela Digby Churchill Hayward Harriman comes a multi-generational saga of one of America's wealthiest and most controversial families--the Annenbergs. Derived from a review posed on-line. Few biographers convey their subjects' business abilities and personalities with equal acuity, but Washington-based journalist Christopher Ogden has done just that in this accomplished portrait of Moses Annenberg (1877-1942) and his son, Walter. Depicting Prussian-born Moe's rise in American publishing, Ogden captures the innovative circulation gimmicks and bare-knuckled competitive tactics that fueled the success of newspapers like the The Inquirer in Philadelphia and the Daily Racing Form (the Annenbergs' cash cow). He also unsparingly but sympathetically depicts Moe's terrible temper and willed blindness to the shadiness of some of his business practices and associates, which led to a two-year jail stint for tax evasion before he came home to die. Spoiled only son Walter, born in 1908, didn't really grow up until his father's conviction shocked him into finally focusing on the family assets, which he further enhanced by creating such pioneering niche publications as Seventeen and TV Guide. Ogden nails Walter's complex character as well, doing particularly well in evaluating the younger Annenberg's famous philanthropy--partly the result of his mother's nurturing and partly a burning desire to justify his father's choices and remove any taint from his legacy. A combination of colorful history and father-son drama. Nº de ref. del artículo: 73528
