The Astors: A Family Chronicle of Pomp and Power
This book has never been replaced as the definitive biography of this fabulous dynasty, and is a major source for the media. It tells of triumphs, tragedies, and scandals. The Astors became landlords of New York, established society's "400," and joined the British nobility. The Titanic drama of their lives is given a new perspective. Reviewers have called this book wonderfully entertaining, and a Horatio Alger story for the very adult reader.
