His son Jack, a keen businessman, was poised to take over what Life called the biggest vegetable factory on earth. But the carefully cultivated facadeglamorous outings by horse-drawn carriage, hidden cellars of world-class wine, and movie stars skinny-dipping in the poolhid dark secrets that led to the implosion of the family business. In a compulsively readable story of class and privilege, betrayal and revenge, John Seabrook explores his complicated family legacy and dark corners of the American Dream.
