Description:
The Golden Ageis the concluding volume in Gore Vidal's celebrated and bestselling Narratives of Empire series-a unique pageant of the national experience from the United States' entry into World War Two to the end of the Korean War. The historical novel is once again in vogue, and Gore Vidal stands as its undisputed American master. In his six previous narratives of the American empire-Burr, Lincoln, 1876, Empire, Hollywood, and Washington, D.C.-he has created a fictional portrait of our nation from its founding that is unmatched in our literature for its scope, intimacy, political intelligence, and eloquence. Each has been a major bestseller, and some have stirred controversy for their decidedly ironic and unillusioned view of the realities of American power and of the men and women who have exercised that power. The Golden Ageis Vidal's crowning achievement, a vibrant tapestry of American political and cultural life from 1939 to 1954, when the epochal events of World War Two and the Cold War…

COPYRIGHT First Edition 1917 and 1948, B. C. Forbes and Sons Publishing Company, IncThese books are very rare and hard to find. In 1917 Mr.Forbes (the founder of Forbes Magazine) personally interviewed all but one of the fifty men chosen for Men Who are Making America, resulting in a short autobiography, their beginnings, their dreams. The data he collected is, where born, circumstances of parents as in moderate, poor, rich, age in 1917, how they began, and in what did they achieve their chief success. The list of men interviewed is fascinating: Alexander Graham Bell, Andrew Carnegie, George Eastman, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller etc....
In America's Fifty Foremost Business Leaders, 1948, Mr. Forbes analyzed the business changes, the trends, the upheaval and the success or failure of many businesses. He also supplied biographical data of the original fifty men interviewed in the first book covering the last 30 years of business practices. In this book Mr. Forbes approached fifty of the… Read More
