Overview: An Intimate Look at America’s Most Powerful Family
The Rockefellers: An American Dynasty is a penetrating biography that charts the rise of one of America’s most influential families. From John D. Rockefeller’s domination of the oil industry to the political and philanthropic reach of his descendants, Collier and Horowitz paint a vivid portrait of ambition, power, and legacy.
Wealth, Power, and Control
The book details how the Rockefellers amassed unprecedented wealth through Standard Oil, and how successive generations leveraged that fortune to shape American politics, business, and culture. It also examines internal rivalries and the challenges of maintaining influence amid shifting public sentiment.
Thorough, Balanced, and Riveting
Praised for its even-handedness and compelling prose, this biography avoids hagiography, presenting the family with all its contradictions—visionaries and manipulators, reformers and profiteers. It remains a cornerstone of 20th-century American biography.
