About This Item
Harpercollins, 2003. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Fine, fresh example in equally fine dust jacket. xiv+ 402 pp. with index, bibliography. A true story that reads like a novel, a sweeping chronicle of an era and an intimate account of a son whose father gave him everything---except the training to deal in a world of the rapacious. James Hazen Hyde, at age 23, inherited the majority of the shares in the billion-dollar Equitable Life Assurance Sociery; only five years later he fell from grace in a Wall Street scandal that obsessed the nation. Among the characters of this riveting, cautionary tale are J.P. Morgan, E.H. Harriman, Henry Clay Frick and other Golden Age giants.
