Publisher's Synopsis
It is one of the world's great fortunes, the empire founded by Sam Bronfman and carried on through his family, a kingdom worth more than $7 billion nurtured on bootleg alcohol and sustained through decades of deals, scandals, legal explosions and intrafamily warfare. "Jesus, it would be a fascinating story," Sam Bronfman once said. "If I could ever tell the truth of all that happened....I'd sell ten million copies." Peter C. Newman tells the truth of it now, giving us an unprecedentedly candid look not only at the workings of a modern-day empire, but at the truly singular family that created it.
